The
Strength / Conditioning Quotient was recently released by the World Kettlebell Club and Valery Fedorenko. It features five specific kettlebell exercises done at six minutes, with hand switches at every minute. There's a consistent five minute timed rest between exercises. The exercises are done in the following sequence and rep totals:
EXERCISES
- One Arm Clean (20)
- One Arm Long Cycle Press (10)
- Half Snatch (18)
- Jerk (20)
- Push Press (20)
Rep totals caps are assigned to each exercise, and listed in parenthesis above. If rep totals are exceeded, no extra points are awarded. Each kettlebell is assigned a factor that is multiplied by the number of reps performed.
KETTLEBELL FACTORS
- 8k / factor: 1.0
- 12k / factor: 1.5
- 16k / factor: 2.0
- 20k / factor: 2.5
- 24k / factor: 3.0
- 28k factor: 3.5
- 32k factor: 4.0
- 36k factor: 4.5
- 40k factor: 5.0
- 44k factor: 5.5
- 48k factor: 6.0
The final score is also factored into a coefficient based on body-weight to determine the
absolute male and
absolute female winners. Prizes are awarded the first and second place absolute score holders (as listed above). The Challenge will be held on June 13 at
AKC Fitness Long Island. The entry fee is $20, and includes a T-shirt for each contestant. We're offering a special
Strength / Conditioning Challenge Prep Program for anybody interested in specific training to help give them the edge.

I'm a little confused. If the reps are capped, then how is the winner determined? It doesn't sound like the most reps wins.
This is awesome. Too bad I'm in LA.

The number of reps is multiplied by factor assigned to each weight. The strategy is to pick the appropriate weight that will allow the highest score to be achieved.
Hey Mike,
The rep total caps are per minute caps, right? For example, you don't get awarded extra points if you do over 10 long cycle reps in a minute. But the next minute you get a new 10 rep cap. Is this accurate?
Thanks,
Phil
exactly Phil... the cap is every minute not total for six. Remember the mandatory hand switches at one minute as well.
Same weight throughout or different weight depending on what you can do on that particular exercise? I'll be going through this in Houston in July but it would be helpful to know the basics now. Thanks!
