Kettlebell snatch specialization
I am training right now strictly for strength/endurance. I am planning on doing 3 days (Monday, Wednesday, Friday) of high rep snatches with a 36 lb. kettlebell. My goal is 100 reps on each arm. I did 70 today on each arm.
Is this routine of strictly kettle bell snatches enough to maintain my overall muscle mass? My exact goal is to lose 10 pounds of fat and maintain my lean mass. (p.s. I can't do kb cleans and presses because for some reason they irritate my elbow. Go figure, the snatches actually make my elbow feel better. I am planning on doing 3 sets of weighted push-ups on Tuesday and Thursday to keep my pushing strength up).
What do you guys think? Is this a good plan?
