We had a great time in Lewisberg PA, working hard with the kettlebells. It was a friendly competition where everyone supports everyone. No one is made to feel inferior because you really are just competing against yourself and the clock. The place was full of small children and the elderly, making it a family like event.
Judges and coaches where there to give you ques with hand and verbal commands, which is quite helpful when you feel the pain during the ten minute performance.
It is amazing to see just how strong the women are in this sport. They dominate based on their weight class. As an example; Emily, who is around 16-years-old long cycled a 20kg kettlebell for a full ten minutes.
Most knew I had just started training in Kettlebell Sport, so they where even more supportive when I did a long cycle with one arm for 108 reps /16kg. That is usually reserved for the ladies. But I didn’t care, I just wanted to make it the full 10 minutes with a bell!
Jenna and Michael competed to and did wonderful stuff with heavy weight. And you can see their performance below in the two videos.
If you are looking to challenge yourself with a new type of lifting, try Girevoy Sport. You just might get addicted like I did!
