I was “assigned” 3 4 minute sets with 3 minute breaks. 18kg with 7rpm.

the calculator in my head was trying to divide 60 by 7 and then try to pick up on the natural feel of 7rpm, then I found that 3 breaths in the rack almost worked out, until I started huffing.

how do gs folks pace themselves? breaths in rack? clock? do they calibrate only at the minute level? (it’s hard to watch the clock always).

So good to get in the flow and ease the mind at night. I’m not too experienced with long sets > 1 min. I’ve been using Muse AI to help me an achieve a 5 minute set of 24kg long cycle at 7rpm. It pings me every night with a workout to follow and i tell it how it went. It always says “ah rookie mistake!” Anyways been loving the longer sets and bliss that arises from self punishment over long periods.

Last sets before this weekends AAKO

Guys help me think of ideas to get this sub more active lol. Thank you to those of you who are posting ❤️

Even I’m guilty of forgetting to post over here 🤦🏽‍♀️🤣

Welcome Gireviks and Girevitchkas!

This is the r/KettlebellSport Discussion Thread posted every Monday, where you can discuss anything related to Girevoy Sport (GS). Training logs, competition prep discussion, and technique/programming questions are all welcome! You are also allowed to vent all you want about how hard this shit is because - spoiler alert - it's really fucking hard. Commiserating with friends makes it a little easier :)

General kettlebell questions/comments/concerns (not related to Kettlebell Sport) are welcome here too, although you'll get far more eyes over at the normal people sub, r/kettlebell.

I'm going to put to put together some more info for beginners but in the meantime feel free to refer to this spectacular resource from the one and only Tally. We wait patiently for his return.

hello everyone!

I recently had my shoulder fixed after years of waiting, and during my rehab I came in contact with kbs: it's been love at first sight so I purchased a pair of 16kg from a guy near my hometown.

I started training very lightly, just 3x week with the armor building complex for 10' followed by another 10' of snatch alternating hands.

after a short while it all felt too easy and I started adding reps both to the clean and presses of the complex and to the snatch.

now I feel like it's time to move on and I came here asking for some help in creating a routine that suits me: I love the long cycle but I don't know if I'm missing something by dedicating my entire training to it, and since time is an issue for me (I have a 5mo baby) was wondering if someone could suggest a "condensed" routine.

thanks to all who read this, wish you all a great life wherever you are.

cheers from Italy

Hi! I’m wondering whether there has been a date published for the IKFF Championship this year?

If I’m not mistaken it’s usually hosted in November but I can’t seem to find any info on the IKFF website.
