Rule Text by Organization

IKLF International Kettlebell Lifting Federation

The free hand cannot be used to complete a repetition. Using the free hand to assist in pressing or stabilizing the kettlebell overhead results in a no-count. For example, using the free hand to help complete a press results in the lifter receiving a no-count.
