Hi people! I am collecting data for my last assignment to become a physical trainer with Team Denmark and would really appreciate help! My subject will be about the preparation of a Western girevik for his first competition, and the difference with Eastern methods. Therefore I have some questions about strength training and GS training. These are not questions I have for myself. I look for data I can use as reliable source, therefore I am only interested in hearing from people who know the Eastern approach ( have lived in Russia for some years and participated/ witnessed)or have a minimum of CMS ranking/ 3 years GS experience. I am the first to write about this subject here in Denmark and censors will be drilling me for references.
Questionnaire: 1. How important is strength training for GS and does weight class make a difference as to what strength training they do? 2. What is the most important quality? (Flexibility, endurance, strength and so on) 3. How long does it take to make CMS and MS? 4. Do the best girevik train jerk and snatch sessions at separate sessions or on same session? 5. How and why they get introduced to kettlebells as kids? 6. Usually how old are they when they start? What weight kettlebell? 7. What are typical injuries or problems in veterans? 8. Do they ever do heavy strenght training before KB training? 9. What would be typical exercises with BB? 10. Typically, how many competitions a year would a girevik participate in?
Many thanks in advance!
Thierry
