what weight is he using?

[WorldKettlebellClub]

70 pounds in each hand... The Lifter weights less than 165lb btw!

Would "worldkettlebellclub" please comment on the elbows and whether or not they are locked out? Thanks very much for your reply.

[WolfsThunder]

It is all very comparable to "Olympic" style lifting. For many years it was more popular than power lifting. Both have their place...But with kettlebells you have more options. Including just having a hella great workout with just mixing only a couple or a few techniques with body weight exercises without going for the contest lifts. There is still much to be gained. I even like the term Russians use... Kettlebell play. When we forget to play... We get too old...

@order2khaos I need to edit my previous post to read: "lockout" is NOT synonymous with "fixation." Thanks.

@kbnjcom Hey, I know your comment is iver two years old, but I thought I'd reply to anone who is reading it for the first time. I'm fairly new to kettlebell sport training, but I've done a lot of reading and research about it, and my understanding is that "lockout" is synonymous with "fixation," which is what is required at the top of the jerk. In other words, a lifters' arms need not be totally locked at the elbow in order to achieve fixation as a qualifying repetition.

@MrVewj Its gravity dude, the diaphragm is against gravity while lying down and gravity neutral in standing, so it is fact that the heart/lungs/nervous system have to work harder in supine.

[MrVewj]

@hellomynameis151 that's a myth.

[Portlaoise50]

WOW What an animal. Pity he was not in tighter shorts such an impressive bulge at 724

[sibirenkov]

рядом с русскими там никто не стоял

[gpin27]

why you do this??.. i dont understand...

[hellomynameis151]

Never....ever...immediately go lye down after intense physical activity. Walk it off, or standing there with hands over head or on hips and breathe it off, and cool down. Crossfit does this too and its not good.

@kbnjcom

If you're thinking about his right arm, some lifters are born without the ability to completely lock out one or both arms. It's very common in olympic lifting, even at world and olympic levels.
