The snatch is the Tsar of the kettlebell lifts. It forges iron backs, hips, and fingers, develops outstanding cardio-respiratory endurance, and has a tremendous carryover to running, jumping, rucking, fighting, etc. Last but not least, the kettlebell snatch builds willpower and pain tolerance.

Tactical Strength Challenge™

Held twice each year—the “community” event in late April/early May and the “competition” event on the last Saturday of October—the Tactical Strength Challenge™ is comprised of three exercises:

–A max powerlifting deadlift (three attempts)

–Pullups for max reps (palms forward, no kipping, chin or upper chest must touch the bar) or flexed arm hang for time (in the Novice Women’s category)

–Kettlebell snatches for max reps in a 5:00 time period (unlimited hand switches and different weights for different competitor categories).

Preparing requires your focus on different types of strength and endurance—as demanded by real life’s challenges.

The next TSC (Community Edition) is scheduled for Saturday, May 7, 2022.

Participant registration is open through the day of the event.
