Old Forum Training for SFG II and TSC in April 2014

[amdemarais]

The TSC is 1 week before the Chicago SFG II in April.  Would it be absolutley crazy to try and do both events?  I have already signed up for SFG II, but would really like to compete in the TSC.  Any thoughts on this and how to prep?  Thanks in advance!

Amdemarais,

Apart from the half bodyweight press, the Level II is not a maximal lifting event. You will be encouraged to go as heavy as practical, but the focus is on execution of technique.

Personally, I'm training for the TSC as I prepare for the Level II myself, I see the preparation for one aiding the other.

Then I see no reason not to do both as well!  Thank you for your response Mr. Toomey.

Both is a good choice.

is the press still only one side or both (half body weigh)??

Hey Chris,

Thanks for asking as you made me double check as well.

Per the requirements I found online <a title="here" href="http://www.strongfirst.com/sfg-kettlebell-instructor-level-ii-certification/">here</a>:

"Performance of the press with one arm is sufficient."
