Things have changed since then and that particular workout is no longer used for obvious reasons. As his hands stuck more, they tore more, and bled more, and then he got more dirt. The more he bled the more dirt he used and the more he started to stick to the handle. To try to keep a grip on the 24kg bell he was snatching, he started to rub his hands in the dirt at his feet. With temperatures high and no chalk available, hands started tearing. Senior RKC Shaun Cairns, one of the biggest strongest guys I have ever encountered, told me of a snatch workout at an RKCII event in 2008. In its earliest guise the Russian Kettlebell Challenge was about one thing, from what I can gather speaking to those few foolhardy souls who braved the first few events: survive the epic Hardstyle beating of the Evil Russian, Pavel Tsatsouline. Obviously, in all organizations things change as people move in and out of a position or new research comes along that shows a better way of doing something and the RKC is no different. It’s pretty cool to be able to share this thing that has come to mean so much to me, both overseas and at home. As each instructor introduced himself or herself I felt dumber and dumber, more and more like I was going to be hopelessly out of my depth.įast forward to now, and somehow at the start of the last RKC event I attended it was me standing at the front of the room introducing myself along with the other instructors, and now somehow even in charge of testing and running my own team. Yet all of a sudden not five or six, but eighty hopefuls and about twenty different instructors surrounded me. Yet that’s exactly how I felt on day one of my RKC in June 2009.Īt the time in Australia there were only five or six RKCs and none were local. ![]() It’s not often I stand in a roomful of trainers and feel like the dumbest one in the room.
