This was Michelle's second competition,and with her strength and drive there are big numbers in her future. Alison accomplished her goal and personal best with 40 reps per arm and earning 1st place in her weight class. Justin competed in the Pentathlon which is a 5 exercise 50 minute journey. Justin earned 1750 pts., 1st place in the pentathlon competition, and official status as a superhuman. This is Justin's first time competing in the new event.
Michael Cricks put on a great event at his gym Complete Kettlebell and Fitness in Niles OH. He has an awesome new facility. Valery Fedorenko, the man who brought the sport to the U.S. was in attendance as well. The atmosphere at the event was positive, encouraging, and uplifting which is pretty standard at a kettlebell competition. There were many impressive sets at all levels of the sport.

A great event was put on by Michael Cricks and the athletes of the Complete Kettlebell and Fitness. It was a small well organized event with new and experienced lifters. The Pittsburgh Kettlebell Club was represented by Alison Dempsey who competed in her second competition. Alison took on the challenge of the 12kg bell and achieved 44 reps per arm. Alison has been training and competing for only 6 months and is making great progress. Alison has historically been an endurance type athlete and never did much for strength training. She demonstrates the accessibility of this great sport to athletes of all backgrounds. One of the best parts of a kettlebell competition is hearing how people became involved in kettlebells and how it has changed their lives. Instinct Fitness looks forward to having more athletes compete in this challenging and rewarding sport.

Justin broke some personal records in the Jerk and had a mishap on the snatch. All of us walked away from a great kettlebell weekend with more experience and inspiration.
