Journal and new rank table

LC 2x20kg: 5,5
LC 2x28kg: 21
SC Jerk 2x28kg: 15,10,5
Clean 2x28kg: 2x 10reps

Leg press: three set of 10reps (the squat rack was occupied)

A few BU clean and hold with 20kg

Jerks felt nice.

Ranking table
Some of the IKSFA founders have started an organization KETA: Link
KETA includes among others Rachinsky and Vasiliev who have visited Sweden several times.

KETA have now released a ranking table. I learnt this from Olof's newsletter from Spartan. Olof also linked to Orange Kettlebells Club with the ranks: LINK


I know most of you follow Facebook and probably knew all about this allready. Anyway, the KETA table is an interesting one. Several of the same ranks can be achieved with different kettlebell weights.

In spirit, I it reminds of this table from 2006 (LINK):


I like this way as it allows more approaches to lifting in order to achieve a rank: focusing on heavy bells or light ones. As Olof at Spartan suggests it could also facilitate for competitions (if there is a need to only let people with certain ranks compete in certain categories).
