September TSC......it was a GREAT one!




September is always a great time of the year. Kids are back in school, people are getting back into some type of work and training routine, football season starts and you can always count on a competitive TSC taking place. This one was no exception. Great competitors and a nice size crowd came to Revolution Fitness to experience this grueling yet fun day of pain.

First of all, here are the competitors and their results"

MEN Open Division

Jeff Cwalinski BW 257 DL 475 Pull ups 11 Snatch 116
Aaron Wilson BW 146 DL 395 pull ups 40 Snatch 122
Osvaldo Aponte BW 152.8 DL 315 Pull ups 29 Snatch 112
Mike LoBue BW 179.2 DL 405 Pull ups 35 Snatch 121
Christian Goodwin BW 169.2 DL 345 Pull ups 11 Snatch 68

MEN Elite Division

Phillip Davis BW 169.2 DL 405 Pull ups w/22.5lbs 16 Snatch w/32kg 114 (new TSC Record)

WOMENS

Jennifer Peters BW 150.2 DL 220 Pull ups 7 Snatch 139
Kristin Olafsdottir BW 144.8 DL 225 Pull ups 10 Snatch 123
Susan Atwater BW 134.2 DL 225 Pull ups 8 Snatch 86
Rhonda Fuller BW 148.4 DL 265 Pull ups 10 Snatch 131

Yoana and I want to congratulate all of the competitors for coming out an competing and giving it their all! It is so motivating to watch athletes push themselves to the limit!

We also want to thank Mike LoBue for bringing his SDSU athletes with him to the competition. He always brings great athletes and is one heck of a coach and motivator for talking them into competing, even if they are totally new to kettlebells, pull ups and deadlifts. Thanks again Mike!

Wow! Look at those snatch numbers!!! I am so envious! How did you train your ladies for those snatches? Or is that a Revolution secret? Nice job La Jolla!

Yoana Teran Snideman said...

The secrets we have at Revolution Fitness are :)

Find a Good Coach
Design a Good Program
Be Disciplined

When I am done with my pregnancy my goal is to re-take the 10 minutes Snatch Test.

Let' see what I can do... but I will do my best :)

Lauren Brooks said...

Sounds like the TSC was awesome! Wish I was there to see it.

And Yoana, I am sure you will only surpass your numbers for the snatch test! Hope the pregnancy is going well for you.

I see the cyborg plan is working out as expected in southern CA. Holy crap! I am bowing down in deference to those awesome performances.

Great job to all in SD! I tried to get the local kettlebell fraternity here on PHX to put a TSC at Josh Henkin's place but nobody seemed interested :(

In the spring we'll definately have to participate in the TSC to see if we can even rival what the SoCal studs and studettes have done.

Mike T Nelson said...

We should have a little regional TSC competition perhaps? Looks like CA, AZ and MN are well represented!

Nice work to all that signed up and did the TSC! My hats off to you all.

rock on

Holy Castle Greyskull mate, those are some sick numbers from that crew and what great bodies on all of them. You just motivated me to get some. OOH RAH! My best to Yoana and child.
