KETTLEBELL CHALLENGE

FLATIRONS CROSSFIT KETTLEBELL CHALLENGE
Saturday February 21st @ 10:30
Check in at 9:30

The snatch and the clean and jerk are the backbone of kettlebell training. Holding kettlebells bells in exaggerated positions has its place in kettlebell training but it doesn’t really work well in competition. We will be testing our skill with the kettlebell snatch and clean and jerk. This event is designed and open to kettlebell enthusiasts of all levels. If you can clean, jerk, and snatch a kettlebell then come out and compete. Competition is a great way to take your skill to the next level and really push yourself.

The Rules
. There will be a men’s and women’s divisions based on kettlebell size. Athletes will use one bell any size they choose. (8,12,16,24,32 kg bells) They must use the same size bell for both tests.

The snatch test will be as many reps in 10 minutes as possible. The bell may be set down at any time and the athlete may switch hands as often as they like. The bell must be swung from between the legs to full lock out overhead for the rep to count. The bell must not be pressed into position. Score is total reps in 10 minutes

The clean and jerk is as many reps as possible in 10 minutes using one bell. It will be performed long cycle. The long cycle clean and jerk is a clean and a jerk for each rep. Rep starts from the hang and is cleaned to the rack with the arm holding the bell tight to the chest. The bell is then jerked overhead. The rep is complete when the bell is fixed overhead arm body and torso are straight. You may switch hands as often as you like and the bell may be set down. Score is total reps in 10 minutes.

Winners will be determined on the combined scores for both tests.
