Functional Fitness|Crunches or Kettlebells

Check out this video of Andy Fitting jerking a 48kg kettlebell (pimpbell) for 76 reps (38+38) in 4 mins, demonstrating incredible strength and fitness.

I love this video for 2 reasons.

Firstly, any video with Andy Fitting repping like hell on a kettlebell is a good one.

Secondly, check out the guy in the background going for it with some partial crunches.

What a contrast!

Which is most beneficial? Partial crunches or high rep kettlebell jerks?

Functionally speaking partial crunches may be good for helping you sit up in bed but I doubt very much they will have a training effect anything like high rep kettlebells.

If you could only do one exercise........ what would it be?

Kettlebell Push Press

Kettlebell Push Press 40kg for 40 reps

Also from this weekends training. 40kg kettlebell for 40 reps 20 each side. Next goal is to move up to 60 reps - 30 and 30. As you can see my technique needs some refining as I get very tired towards the end and start leaning. This is not girevoy sport this is more 'Bull powered Olympic ball tussling'

The Girevoy Sport guys are truly out of this world in terms fitness levels and energy conservation. I'm slowly putting elements of this style into my training.

100 40kg kettlebell Jerks

100 Jerk's with 40kg kettlebell

Pretty insane amount of kettlebell jerks - 100 with the 40kg kettlebell in 5 mins 45 secs by Gregor Sobočan.

It is claimed that the huge set of reps is an unofficial World Record as no one else has done it yet (I feel some WR's coming on tonight for myself), a great feat of strength endurance nonetheless.
