The 2010 Arnold Kettlebell Strongman/Woman Challenge will mark the first contest, but this will grow into a Sport with its own Meets throughout the World! The Rank System begins with 32kg/70lb (every 4kg up to 48kg) for Men and 20kg/44lb (ever 4kg up to 36kg) for Women. You may Rank at the Arnold with the lower weights, but you must Qualify to take the Arnold Expo Challenge, 48kg/106lb for Men and 36kg/79lb for Women! Come to the American Kettlebell (WKC) booth anytime-all three days- to give it a try! *Note-Men must RANK with 44kg and Women with 32kg to Qualify, at or before taking the Challenge!
“Kettlebell StrongMan (and StrongWoman) Sport has the potential to outgrow traditional Kettlebell Sport and I’ll tell you why. First, it’s more tolerant of a wide variety of body-types because the lifter uses only one bell. No more excuses from guys about not being able to reach the hip! Second, it’s using a heavier bell range, which leans things towards the STRENGTH side of Strength-Endurance. Third, it’s a shorter set of 4 minutes, not 10. This moves things along faster, allowing more competitors and more excitement for the spectators. Of course I will always have love for my Sport [Kettlebell Sport] but I created StrongMan (and Woman) Sport to open the floodgates on the Worlds greatest Fitness tool. I hope you have found your new Sport!” -VF
