kettlebell sport

Mike and Jordan are back on the LivingFit Show discussing everything kettlebell sport. Explaining what kettlebell sport is and how competitions work, the physiological adaptations needed to be successful in kettlebell sport, and complementary training like CrossFit, powerlifting, mobility work, and cardio. They also discussed how CrossFit training can complement kettlebell sport and why CrossFit athletes often pick up kettlebell techniques quickly.

Today I’m talking to kettlebell sport world champion and Master of Sport Juan Pellot. Spoiler alert: Juan is actually my coach, and I interact with him pretty darn regularly. But we’re flipping the script this time, and I’m asking Juan to dive deep on the differences between kettlebells as a training tool versus contested sport, and why the latter — a sport popular in Eastern Europe — has taken so long to catch on in the Western world. And does a kettlebell sport set really feel like doing the CrossFit workout Fran for 10 minutes straight?
