The 5-Minute Kettlebell Snatch Test | The 100-Rep Standard

The 5-Minute Kettlebell Snatch Test is a well-established benchmark in the kettlebell world, popularized by StrongFirst as a test of conditioning, grip endurance, and repeatable power under load.

The gold standard is 100 reps in five minutes.

This session was filmed LIVE using a 24kg kettlebell, with the goal of producing the highest number of clean, repeatable reps possible across the full five-minute window — without rushing, burning out, or breaking technique.

Your score is simple:
total reps completed in five minutes.

How you get there — breathing, pacing, hand transitions, and discipline — is the strategy.
The outcome is the number.

At TuskerStrong, we use this test as a recurring performance marker, not a one-time event. The goal is to train toward it, test it, and revisit it month after month while prioritizing longevity, sound mechanics, and sustainable output.

If you’ve completed the test and want a free 3-week snatch training calendar to improve your score, email me your results:
