Reconstruction, one of the most turbulent and controversial eras in American history, began during the Civil War and ended in 1877. It witnessed America's first experiment in interracial democracy. Just as the fate of slavery was central to the meaning of the Civil War, so the divisive politics of Reconstruction turned on the status the former slaves would assume in the reunited nation.
I recommend that most women can start with an 8 kg/18-lb kettlebell, while fit women can begin with a 12 kg/26-lb kettlebell. A male starting to work out should begin with a 16 kg/35-lb kettlebell, while a fit man can begin with a 24 kg/53-lb kettlebell. This is my opinion, based upon my experiences.
It would be unfair to have a small person compete with the larger person who can lift more due to having more body mass to move the weight. KETTLEBELL WEIGHT. Each lifter will compete with others who lift the same kettlebell weight as they are and who are competing in the same lift they are. So for example, if Bob weighs in at 68kg for his bodyweight, is going to perform 16kg Jerk, he will compete in the 68kg weight class with other men in that weight class who are also lifting 16kg Jerk.
