The Arnold Classic

The Arnold Classic and The Pittsburgh Kettlebell Club

Jason and I decided to create the Pittsburgh Kettlebell Club for the Classic and I would say we represented our "club" pretty well.

We had a good showing in our weight classes: I am not sure of the exact weight classes of everyone but here is the list of the placings.

Jason Turko 3rd Place LCCJ 24kg KB
Eric Saks 2nd Place LCCJ 16kg KB
Johanna Matsui 1st Place 8kg KB
Kim Turko 1st Place 16kg KB
Joe Wolf 1st Place 16kg KB
Justin Thomas 1st Place 20kg KB

I would say this is a great event for the sport but, tough venue for the competitors. We are packed in and pushed around making it hard to relax and prepare. Fortunately we all play on the same field so it is fair. I would love to see the Club grow and everyone who competed move through the ranks. I was excited to see a great performance from all.

Now time for the dreaded half ironman.
