So I'm sure you will do the same. We are both Leo's and may share that quality. Honestly, my body most likely would not do well with using heavy bells on a regular basis. It can be too taxing on the joints and tendons at least for me. <BR/><BR/>And yes! Sara did snatch the stinkin' 53lb. Now know that will be next, but not for quite some time!Lauren Brookshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07329485509526075515noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1575702397304431805.post-76957998739658108332007-09-08T05:27:00.000-07:002007-09-08T05:27:00.000-07:00Lauren,I too was inspired by Fawn's snatching of t...Lauren,<BR/><BR/>I too was inspired by Fawn's snatching of the 20kg, so much so that I asked Mark, "I wonder if I could snatch the 20kg?". He asked me, was I was asking if I could, or if I SHOULD?<BR/><BR/>I guess I know that I could, but I also know that I don't need to, at least not right now, (but you know I'm going to try anyway. lol, damn you and Fawn!)<BR/><BR/>Wasn't Sara snatching the stinkin' 53?

I definitely want to try more, When my body feels ready I will give it a go! You also play a role in inspiring me to snatch this weight. So thank you very much for that!Lauren Brookshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07329485509526075515noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1575702397304431805.post-9622830889307686992007-09-07T04:13:00.000-07:002007-09-07T04:13:00.000-07:00Lauren,That was totally awesome!

But doing all the exercises you listed should help tremendously as well. Haven't tried to jerk the 20kg yet.

He got me a 10 lb one and I have been doing some swings with it to get a feel for it.
