Kettlebell Kumite #7 - Mixed Team Clean & Press

Kettlebell Kumite #7 - Mixed Team Clean & Press - Oct 10-27

This Kumite is about a friendly competition in mixed teams. You will form pairs of one Kettle-Boy and one Kettle-Bella to compete together against the other teams in a 5-minute Clean & Press contest.

Here is how it works:

Find yourself a team partner to work together and motivate each other to new heights!

Each of you record a single 5-minute Clean & Press session with a single KB. You can take as many attempts as you like. But only post your best effort.

You may switch hands and put the KB down as many times as you need to during those 5 minutes. Time does not stop when you take a break. You cannot switch weights during the session.

You can do Strict Press, Push Press or Jerk to get the KB into overhead fixation.

Your combined reps and weights will determine your final score as follows:

For the rep count both team members have reached you add the 2 weights used up and multiply the result with 2x that rep count.

For any reps only one team member has achieved, you count those reps and multiply them with the weight those reps were done.

Here is an example:

Gregory has achieved 100 reps with 24kg.

Angie has achieved 110 reps with 16kg.

The score is:

Both have done 100 reps with a combined weight of 40kg: 200 * 40 = 8000 points

Angie has done an additional 10 reps with 16kg: 10 * 16 = 160 points

Final score: 8160

Now all you have to do is find yourself a partner and get goin'!

Update: To account for the surplus of Kettle-boys, 2 Kettle-boys can now also be a team, but get their final score miltiplied with 0.667 to stay comparable. E.g. a combined result of 9000 multiplied with 0.667 would come to a final score of 6000.
