This past weekend was a big one for myself , Will Metcalf and Coach Chris Duffey. Chris Duffey and myself attended Fedor Fuglev's training camp. All I can say is so much information to try and take in and not enough time. We went over snatch, jerk and longcycle, training planing and recovery. The hard part is the language barrier. We don't speak there language and they don't speak ours but we made it work. I have a lot of things to practice and see if I like them or not its going to be interesting.
On Sunday April 22,2012 there was the IUKL Competition which was held in Connecticut, Coach Duffy lifting the 24kgs in Biathalon and did 69 jerks and 142 snatches a very impressive day for him. Will Metcalf killed it with the 32kgs and did 80 jerks which is a huge PR for him and he did 123 snatches over all outstanding day for him. As for myself I only had an ok day I did Longcycle with the 32kgs and I managed 45 reps not a PR for myself but after minute 6 I was done so I am glad I lasted out the last 4 minutes I always like to go for 10 minutes .
Fedor Fuglev did a crazy amount of work with the 32kgs pulling off 123 jerks, 210 snatches and then at the end for fun he did Longcycle for 50 reps in 7 mins like no big deal.
This guy is the real deal at 50 years old he is still lifting and performing better than people half his age I can only hope to be half that good at his age. I have never met someone so eager to teach and show people about kettlebells he is truly amazing and I am very interested in his training because its taking him so far and kept him injury free. Not sure what is to come for training we will see, just going to practice a lot.
