Results from the Tactical Strength Challenge - September, 2008
Steve Freides
For those unfamiliar with the TSC, it is a 3-event, 1-day competition
consisting of
1) A powerlifting style, raw, 3-attempt deadlift for maximum weight
2) Pullups for reps - chin, chest or throat must touch bar, elbows
completely straight at bottom
3) Kettlebell snatches for reps in 5 minutes - unlimited hand switching,
putting the weight down, etc., allowed
See http://www.tacticalstrengthchallenge.com for more including the
rules.
In addition to Men's Open and Women's Open, 2 additional divisions exist
for the men: Masters for those age _50_ and above, and Elite which uses
a 10 kg weight on a belt for the pullups, and a 32 kg kettlebell for the
snatches.
