My Goal To Be Master of Sport

This past weekend I had the extreme privilege of attending the American Kettlebell Club (AKC) Coaches Certification under the direction of Honored Master of Sport Valery Fedorenko.  I had a lot of fun honing my skills and have set a new personal goal.  I want to be a Master of Sport in the Long Cycle(clean and jerk).  For my body weight I need 48 reps in a 10 minute timed set of Long Cycle with two 32kg kettlebells.

Yesterday I set the goal.  Today I began training for it.  Here is what my Kettlebell Training Protocol will be for the next 6 weeks.

This was today's workout...

111808
8 Min. One Arm Long Cycle (OALC) @ 24kg- 5rpm

3 Min. Cleans @ 24kg- 10rpm

4 Min. One Arm Jerk (OAJ)- 10rpm


Then:
3x50 Jumping Squats w 45# bar

20 Min. Run

Stretches

All I have to say is that the training for the Master of Sport will be fun! It's very good to have a goal.  What's more important is having a plan.  A goal without a plan is just a dream.  All dreams are good, but eventually you need to wake up.
