Agafia Zavidnaya, Russian strongwoman

Agafia Zavidnaya, Russian strongwoman, performing a kettlebell get-up

She could press 72 pound kettlebell hanging on her little finger. She wrestled men - and won. She was gigantic - at the age of 17, she was 6”3’ and 330 pounds, bigger than her mentor, legendary strongman and wrestler Poddubny. 

Today's practice - Kettlebell Simple & Sinister
- #SAS move prep
- 10x10 swings with 48 kg
- 5x1 get-ups with 44, 44, 44, 32, 32

My left forearm got smashed in yesterday's knife defence class, and it hurts, so after the third get-up I have decided to go light.
