Kettlebell Athletics & Strong Women

Our first video today is of La Saun Taylor of Kettlebell Athletics Alexandia, VA. La Saun was only able to snatch the 24kg kettlebell one time before this visit to Kettlebell Athletics Base Camp in Philadelphia.

She squeezed out 3 reps on her right and 5 on her left. In my opinion, she had more in her but we'll save that for next month.





Likewise, La Saun was never able to press the 24kb kettlebell. She pressed it easily for several singles. This was after 2 hours of training.

The video below is not her best form as she was getting tired... she rushes the press a bit but all other reps were nice and crisp.





Keep kickin' ass La Saun.

Men, let this be a lesson ! We're slowly building an army of women that use the 24kg kettlebell for their standard size kettlebell.

very nice! I am currently working up to that :) Love to see us women achieving such strength feats. Ive just added a KB Goddess page on my website since dragondoor doesn't offer a forum for women. hubby and I are starting a crossfit gym specializing in KB in our neck of the woods (utah). I grew up in VA. hopefully I'll build a nice site like this one soon.
