Rule Text by Organization

IKLF International Kettlebell Lifting Federation

BOLT uses the IKLF Volume Scoring System (IVSS), which is volume-based, not rep-based. The final score represents the total kilograms lifted during a set. This is fundamentally different from traditional Girevoy Sport, which counts repetitions. IVSS measures the lifter's overall work capacity by tallying the total amount of kilograms lifted.
