Slowing Mara down is not the easiest thing to do.

To jump start the new year with more education on health and fitness for IC’ers, we are teaching a free clinic on Saturday, February 4th at 11am. The topic will be based on voter consensus! The polling widget is located on the right column below the bulletin and recent comments headers. Make your selection now! Polling will close on January 31st.

Ivan Denisov is coming back to the IC next month. He has shattered every record possible in Kettlebell Lifting. Ivan is not only the best lifter in the history of the sport, but on his way to becoming one of the best coaches too. His students are some of the best in the world, including Ksenia Dedukihna, Denis Gafarov, and Iyla Tashlanov.

Can you hold this position for 1 minute?

IC kettlebell lifters of all levels are welcome to step on the platform in a fun, no pressure context to build confidence and competition experience.

Come watch your favorite IC lifters compete in our first in-house practice meet of the year.  Family and friends are encouraged to spectate in this informal one-of-a-kind competition!

For added inspiration, check out Maya’s latest piece on the biography of Fedor Fuglev. At his first kettlebell competition nearly 30 years ago, he performed 30 jerks and 40 snatches per hand with the 24kg weights. Today, he is a multiple world record holder with 153 jerks and 222 snatches with the 32kg kettlebell.  His last world record was set at age 50!
