85kg Kettlebell Clean

85kg Kettlebell Clean

Just got in from trying the 85kg/187lb kettlebell.

Laine Snook dropped by to let me try out. The temperature was freezing and with a 1 min warm up had a crack at it and here's the video.



What a crazy piece of metal it is. I now feel obliged to get one to train with as it now has to be snatched and jerked and flipped.

Heavy Kettlebell Training

Supernova Kettlebell

Currently my kettlebell training has taken a bit of a turn, The awesome Laine Snook just happened to get in touch last weekend about kettlebell stuff and now we're going to be meeting up in a few weeks and Laine will be bringing up Malcolm Whyatt's Supernova kettlebell. The supernova weighs in at 187lb 85kg. So will be a tough cookie to gring upto the shoulder but I'm determined.

Laine is currently the only person to have cleaned this monster kettlebell and he personally has seen plenty of World Strongest Man competitors crumble when they tried it.

So, I'v switched my lighter high repping phase for one concentrating on my 60kg kettlebell and my home made kettle handle to prepare myself for it.

It will be great to meet Laine as he is a monster strength master.

Laine once held the Rolling Thunder world record, has recently lifted 2 millenium dumbbells at once and has been invited to the Arnold's. I can't wait!

The kettlebell is aptly named the 'Supernova Kettlebell'and is also sometimes called the'Deathstar'

Here Laine cleans the kettlebell with his left hand. Notice how high he pulls the kettlebell, a fine display of power and hand strength.

This must be youtube's heaviest kettlebell video.

I thought the Inch dumbbell was a real challenge to most Superhumans

Here Laine deadlifts 2 x Millenium dumbbells - incredible!

If I'm not mistaken the Millenium Dumbbell is 2 3/8" diameter and 238lbs



Note also that Laine has pressed overhead the Inver Stone for reps and (unnassisted) lifted the Dinnie Stones. He was also World Record Holder of the Ironmind Rolling Thunder.

The Inver Stone overhead is one of my challenges for 2009.
