Kettlebell Sport



http://www.ickbgirls.com/ivan-denisov-interview-at-wkc-sport-camp-in-san-francisco/

Last weekend I had the honor to travel to San Francisco, Ca. and train with world champion lifters Ivan Denisov and Valery Federenko at the prestigious Ice Chamber Gym. Before the weekend I thought I knew about good technique and the fun of kettlebell sport but what an eye opener. I have learned so much within my journey of this sport about technique, endurance and strength but last weekend I feel was a real game changer. We dissected every lift and focused on using the ultimate precision in strength, endurance and technique.
Seeing how Ivan does what he does gives me a whole new breathe and respect for this great sport of kettlebell lifting. He performed two feats for us; 730 Snatches with the 24kg bell in 35 min. 1time hand switch!! and 100 jerks 2*32kg bells in 5min!! The most impressive thing of it all was that it looked as if it was effortless to him, every rep looked the same. An on looker would have been looking for Ivan's weak spots but he showed none!! It was a complete honor to hang out with him and train. I feel confident to take my students and my own kettlebell game to the next level.
So if your interested in taking your kettlebell training to the next level get into Austins only kettlebell gym PUNCH!
