I'm back...I haven't been on here in a few months. I have been training extensively in Kettlebell Sport. I think the last time I posted a blog I was talking about the rack position with 2 kettlebells. I have been training hard and working on my rack position along with my endurance. I have been keeping track of my workouts so when I get a chance I will post my progression so some of you that are training can look at something different and my coach can take a look at what I was/am doing.
I was training Long Cycle Clean and Jerk for a recent competition that just passed. It was the NYC National Long Cycle Championships at J.K.O. High school in Midtown. I achieved 40 reps with 2 x 20kg. I was competing in the 75kg category. I hope for the next competition I will be down in the 70kg weight class where I should be.
Currently I can achieve my rep count with 2/16kg in the Biathlon (Jerk & Snatch) which is why I am going to compete in the North Jersey Kettlebell competition with the 2/20kg.
The kettlebells that I am training with most of the time range from 16kg to 32kg. I use the 32kg for mostly one arm heavy jerks and I am doing sets of 5 mins with the 16 & 20kg. I will every now and then do test sets of 5 mins. I haven't achieved a full 10min set but I would like to make sure I am well rested for that. I have done a couple of 8 mins sets and achieve my rank numbers with that (16kg).
That is all for now....more to come soon!
