Prelim RKC Snatch Test Results
I am going to St. Paul MN in October to earn my RKC. I still have some work to do for the snatch test though. At my age and weight, I need to be able to complete 64 snatches total, left and right and am allowed one switch. I got to 54 today and my grip crapped out. I will get there though.
