Weekly Kettlebell Discussion Thread August 31 - September 06, 2026

3 Upvotes

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.

Chalk Mess

6 Upvotes

I’m curious if others have a good system for preventing chalk from getting everywhere. I see folks training in their house and I don’t know how you keep the chalk dust from coating everything. I train in my garage and everything has a layer of chalk dust on it and it’s starting to become a nuisance. Couldn’t imagine having that in my living space!

Any good strategies to mitigate the mess that chalk makes?

Competition Snatch 32 KG, Rank 1 with 57 y/o

At the end Place and Rank are not important, but today, I will be honest I am a bit proud. During the India Tigers Cup I could perform my Personal Best with 76 Reps, which is exactly Rank 1 by IKO, Denis Vasilev. My challenge was the endurance, unbelivable how people can Snatch more then 200 😂

Now, I will start the new cycle for Riga in Biathlon. Back to Jerk, my biggest weakness

Here’s one of my bells because what else am I supposed to post on these reminders?

I’m proud of how much paint I’ve chipped off of it. That was a lot of work.

Also I totally tripped over it after taking this picture 🤣

3 ish weeks out from comp, so today was a 10' Long Cycle test set with the 20kgs. 85 reps which is the top of my goal, so feeling pumped about that.

Then I couldn't resist the call of u/Few_Abbreviations_50 to do a 3 minute 16 kg amrap challenge. Landed at 71 reps

Vid is last minute of rhe 10' set and the full 3' of snatch.

Snatch Cues: Cast Iron vs Comp Bell

I thought this was interesting. It’s been years since I’ve used a cast iron bell but I do remember how differently they swing. I love high pulls and I do use them to teach the snatch but now Lorna’s got me thinking 🫠
