It's been 2 weeks since my course in Italy whereby I had to complete not 1 but 2 kettlebell courses PLUS the movements from both barbell and bodyweight which would take me to the prestigious Elite qualification that only approximately 20 personal training coaches hold in the UK.
The course has been an accumulation of 2 years intense training, alongside my own work, and I'm pleased to say I passed! 🏋️♀️🥳
The training provides, make me a better coach so my clients can lift heavier, in a safe manner and hit their goals. Meeting the standards, means I can walk the walk!
Key tests I had to complete included
💪🏽 Kettlebell Military Press 1/3 my bodyweight
💪🏽 Bent Press, a skill movement working on mobility and strength
💪🏽 The 5 minute sn**ch test whereby I had to complete 100 sn**ches using a 12kg kettlebell
💪🏽 The SFG1 and 2 kettlebell standard requirements
💪🏽 1 rep of 1.5 times my bodyweight deadlift
💪🏽 5 reps of half my bodyweight barbell military press
💪🏽 1 arm press up
I look forward to seeing you in the gym 🏋️♀️
