I have found some blogs referencing this but can't find it on DD site. So I am asking my RKC friends, is this true?

Todd,
I had heard from some very high ranking RKCs that they were going to change the snatch test rules to a 5 minute snatch test with unlimited hand changes. Like you mentioned, the heavyweight number that I was told was going to be 80 reps. I thought the change was going to happen prior to the fall RKC certs, but it obviously did not. I now nothing more than that. It makes sense to me. I think it will help preserve people's hands and still will be a good test of conditioning that will require that candidates spend a fair amount of time with their kettlebells practicing. In my opinion, I think it will be easier than the current test.
Hey guys, yer these will be the new snatch requirements. It will be harder on conditioning but easier mentally. Matt you are right it will save the hands. To bust out 100 is only 20 reps a minute, no biggie.
Thanks guys.
Now I just have to come up with the money to go and the days off from work.
I think 20/20/15/15/10/10/5/5 or 5x10/10 on the minute would work very easily here.
Thanks again
Use your PTO. It is well worth the cash-ola! :)
