ICKB Master Sara Sets 24kg Jerk Record

Sara Nelson-Montoya, our favorite ICKB teacher and Master of Sport, set the new USA National Record for the 24kg Jerk in the 63kg weight class with 133 reps at the West Coast Kettlebell Classic on February 7, 2015.  Watch the amazing video here.  Each of these gorgeous photographs perfectly capture Sara’s graceful technique.

2.  Extension of ankles, knees, hips; kettlebell aligned vertically over legs once weightless

3.  Receive Kettlebell in second dip with arm locked out

4.  Extension and stabilization of shoulder, elbow, and wrist; total-body fixation
