Russian Kettlebell Training

Here at CrossFit Alpha we train under Girevoy Sport kettlbell lifting principles as coached by Valery Fedorenko. Every world record set in the sport of kettlbell lifting has been set using this protocol.

Efficiency in lifts takes precedence, with the athlete trying to achieve a level of kettlebell professionalism... a stoic discipline resonating from the lifter. Allowing them to focus on form and pace. Why is this so important?

Learning to completely relax under load allows you to react far more explosively, generating much greater force with far less effort, wear and tear. This is necessary when lifting for a long time frame, and the exact opposite approach to more traditional powerlifting techniques.
