We have some special things planned for September!
Raffle prizes for lifters and opportunities to increase your chances of winning based on your performance. We did this to put an emphasis on seeing continued improvement in you as lifters. We want you to do well and continue to progress throughout the training season, and we want to reward you for that hard work!
Below is a summary of important competition details.
EVENTS:
All your standard kettlebell sport events will be included:
PRIZE RAFFLE:
All athletes are entered into a raffle for special prizes:
Note: rep requirements are rounded up from any fraction above the previous whole integer
i.e. 1,992kg + 10% = 2,191.2kg / 2x16kg bells = 68.475 = 69 reps
As an extra way of helping our Canadian lifters gain access to the tools required to see continued progress, we will be selling off sets of kettlebells at a reduced price. So if you are in the market for new bells, bring along a few extra dollars!
