Veterans 40+years old, 24kg Giri/Kettlebell

Weight Class kg/lbs	Jerk + Snatch (L+R) Total
60 / 132	21
65 / 143	26

75 / 165	35

90+ / 198+	53

Here's are a few examples on how to calculate your Jerk and Snatch totals:

If your goal is 21 total reps then you should Jerk about 11 reps and Snatch each hand 10 reps. Snatch counts 10+10 = 20, then divide by 2. Then just add your Jerk total (11 reps) plus your Snatch total (10 reps) equals 21 total reps.

Another example, if you Jerked only 5 reps then you should snatch 32 reps (add left + right hand) and then divide it by 2 (32 / 2 = 16) which equals 16. So your final calculation would be 5 Jerks + 16 Snatches = 21 total reps.

Women, 12kg or 16kg Giri/Kettlebell
