My plan for 2009 is to make rank in the WKC system, level VII at a minimum. I’m not in [...]

December Kettlebell Challenge Lessons
After my first IGX Kettlebell Challenge, I thought I’d post a few thoughts on the preparation, the event itself and my plans for future training.
First off, as I was entering my first two minutes of snatching, I quickly realized that my endurance needs a lot of work. I thought I had prepped enough, but [...]

This last week was a really hectic one on the personal side. Still, I managed to get my two training days in prior to today’s meet.
Monday called for clean and jerk day, which for me was my “DKC” workout, consisting of the LCCJ, Clean and 1/2 Snatch. I used the 20 kg for my LCCJ [...]

Kettlebell Challenge Workouts
After working Monday night/Tuesday morning, I completed a long cycle-focused workout consisting of the following, which I named the “DKC”:
Long Cycle Clean & Jerk
Clean
Half snatch

As a result, I’m taking advantage of the free time to get my kettlebell workouts back on track (Mon-Wed-Fri), and to have my wife join me.
As it’s been a while [...]

After chalking my PB 20 kg kettlebell, I set my gymboss timer to tone at 1 minute [...]

I woke up at 2:00 p.m. after working all night and decided to get a workout in before eating. I’m still working on the “Redwood” kettlebell fitness workout and stayed at level 2 today.
I began with Scott Sonnon’s warm-up from his Kettlebell Foundation DVD and wouldn’t you know, had [...]

WKC Kettlebell Fitness Fun
I just finished re-painting one of my AKC 32 kg kettlebells and needed to give it a test drive, so after 3 “Redwood” workouts, I decided to throw some heavy weight around for fun.
Rack Reality Check
I set up my three exercises with heavy (32 kg) cleans to start, followed by the half-snatch [...]

There’s been a lot of discussion on some of the non-DD forums regarding the World Kettlebell Club’s soon to be released Kettlebell Fitness manual. While the WKC has been promoting and teaching their fitness methods, they have been slow to release their written version.
Recently, Rmax Gym released the Official Kettlebell Foundation DVD Series from Scott [...]

Perform Better Competition-Style Kettlebells VS. AKC Competition-Style Kettlebells
One of the key issues with those of us participating in Girevoy Sport has been the initial cost of competition-style kettlebells. While the American Kettlebell Club has been the main source for this style kettlebell, they have also suffered from quality control and supply issues at various times.
Further, [...]
