More Training with the 115lb Kettlebell

Again we have Mike Davis DPT from Kettlebell Athletics Virgina performing a Pistol and a Pull-up with a 115lb kettlebell. Mike makes it look all to easy.

I'm proud to say that I was the first person to introduce Mike to kettlebell training. I believe that intproduction was made with a 16kg kettlebell.

Needless to say, Mike has made just a lil' bit of progress.

24kg x 10
28kg x 8
32kg x 6

40kg or higher x 2

10 elevated push-ups.

As many rounds as possible in 20 minutes.

We had some women use those weights the entire time. We also had some men go up to 44and 48kg swings.

I Have Failed You All !!!!

This was our new challenge:

1 Swing
1 Burpee
2 Swings
2 Burpees

Ladder up to 10 Swings,10 burpees in under 5 Minutes.

I didn't make it: 5:41. I will redeem myself !




Some observations:

I never do anything well my first time. I will get 5:00 minutes, hopefully tomorrow.

Swings are easy, should have used the 32kg. Standard for men is 24kg, women is 16kg.

Too much Blue Monster.

Kettlebell Partner Swings

Kettlebell Partner Swings are a great way to add variety to your kettlebell training program.

Make sure that you and your partner have standard Kettlebell Swings perfected before attempting the Kettlebell Partner Swing.

Also, make sure that you don't put a spin on the kettlebell handle, try to keep the kettlebell handle perpendicular to the ground so your training partner can grab it more easily.

Enjoy.
