What inspired Jason Dolby to put on a “One Hour Long Cycle” event when in competition it only lasts 10 minutes?
Nothing like this has ever been done in the USA before, I felt it was time. In Russia, lifting for very long periods of time is not uncommon. The mental toughness and focus that the Russian sportsmen and sportswomen harness is remarkable. “Why not here?”, Jason asked himself.
Sergey Rachinskiy was the biggest inspiration for Jason’s upcoming strength endurance event. This man is the ultimate kettlebell sportsman! He has the mental strength of 20 men! Just a few of his accomplishments are: 5,555 jerks with a 24kg kettlebell in 12 hours without stopping(world record), 212 consecutive barbell squats using 100kg(220lbs)(world record), 720 repetitions in Long Cycle with a 24kg kettlebell in 1 hour(world record), Honored Master of Sport, Master of Sport World Class, Honored Coach of Russia, 9-time World Champion, 12-time Champion of Russia. Jason said he could only dream to attain that kind of focus and drive.
So why not start somewhere? Jason Dolby inviting others to take part in this participation event and join me as we work hard for a great cause!
The Cause:
Helping the Japanese Earthquake / Tsunami relief efforts.
When is the event and it’s start time start time?
The One Hour Long Cycle will take place on Saturday October 22nd, 2011.
All lifters will begin at 10am and finish at 11am.
What are the rules? Not many ![]()
Men, women, teenagers welcome to participate. Lifters may use whatever kettlebell they like, yes even one from your local department store. They can also use a kettlebell of any weight, yes, any weight! Lifters can choose to use one kettlebell(switching hands whenever they feel like it), or they can use 2 kettlebells (a bit more challenging). We will all start at the same time and we will all, hopefully , finish at the same time. We will do our very best to not set the kettlebell down at any time during the hour, good times! Participants at the location are encouraged to please make at least a $75 dollar donation but whatever you can afford is appreciated. All proceeds go to the Japan Tsunami and Earthquake relief efforts. Anybody can lift with us no matter what level you are!
