TO WIN HIS world title, Dave O’Callaghan had to lift two 24kg kettlebells over his head 99 times in 10 minutes.
To achieve such as feat, you’d imagine the Cork man would focus on lifting massive weights but, instead, he credits yoga for playing a huge part in his success.
As part of our series of intimate short documentaries called The Crossover, he discusses how stretching is secret to his strength.
In addition 42 Premier League games — including the final, eir Sport has all the heart-stopping action across its seven great sports channels. With 35 Champions Cup games, every Champions League game and every Europa League game, as well as the UFC, Allianz Leagues GAA, Golf, F1 and much more, why not sign up today?
