Rule Text by Organization

IKLF International Kettlebell Lifting Federation

IVSS Formula: Final Score = Base Volume + Raw Volume. Base Volume = 40 x (total weight of kettlebell(s) in kg). Raw Volume = repetitions x (weight per rep in kg). The base volume 'head start' rewards athletes who choose heavier kettlebells, leveling the playing field and encouraging progressive overload.
