It took TONS of patience...not one of my strongest virtues. Jesse, Sure. The name is only to distinguish it from the more common girevoy event. One of the girevoy events is 1 clean from the floor + as many jerks (from rack position) as possible in 10 minutes. The "Long Cycle" means you lower the bell(s) below your hips (like you do for snatches and swings) and re-clean the bell(s) before each jerk. Make sense? Thanks for the congratulations.

I recently joined a gym that has a decent set of kettlebells and was looking into workouts with them. I hear you talk about them and I've watched videos but I can't tell what makes a long cycle clean and jerk different from a regular KB clean and jerk. Chris,
