Bought this for my youngest to develop basic form for single hand kettlebell work. kzread.infoUgkxtaDAl93XF8wxJhssTtjIFjzid82wglva It has a nice grip on it, just a little rough so it isn't slippery. I was doing a few rotator cuff exercises to test and worked well for those movements I'd been doing with a regular dumbbell. Cool thing you can do is hold it in your hand for door-knob turns to work the forearm and grip. Note: it's small, almost all handle, but that's what I expected given the weight. Smallest I've worked with before is 15lbs, so it was kind of funny to see the difference 10lbs makes.

The perfect exercise, and done correctly is a strength and cardio exercise. I aim to do 100 swings every training day. Love suitcase swings also with two bells, at present I’m doing 2 x 8kg. Am definitely not a hunky muscly guy, but at 78 I can definitely move those bells - snatch, squat, rack and press etc etc and deadlifts.

Thank you Sal Di Stefano for mentioning the cardio effect this exercise has. You hear this constant debate about strength resistance training vs. cardio; the truth is you need both, and the two-handed KB swing does a great job of delivering both.

Love the towel analogy to explain the kinetic energy involved! Thanks!

differentiating the swing from a squat movement is great. Thanks for sharing!

I have had lots of people get back injuries through this one, so credit to you, gents, for discussing it.

Great instruction, thanks

These guys are great ! The interaction between them us Execellent and they are spot on in their instructions ! Thanks guys for the video !

I like the Mind Pump guys. I listen to their podcast all the time. But as a kettlebell enthusiast for over 10 years, and an RKC/StrongFirst instructor for the last 4, there is quite a bit wrong with the kettlebell swing that Justin is doing. 1) We do not teach the start of the swing with the KB behind the body. Never have. 2) Justin’s neck and lower back are anything but neutral 3) Justin’s shoulders are in his ears - very little Lat engagement 4) His stance is too wide, not driving enough force through the ground. A KB swing is a “jump, without the jump.” 5) The kettlebell is smacking him in the ass on the way back through, which indicates a shortened hinge where the hamstrings are not fully engaged and the lower back is taking too much of the load. Just some thoughts. Like I said - Love the Mind Pump crew, but we have a responsibility to teach this move correctly and safely. Way too many instructional videos out there where dudes are just making stuff up....

Starting with the kettlebell behind you? Good luck with a heavier load!! You’ve just made a lot of physiotherapists smile. And arms and shoulders should be relaxed but in control - again try doing that with a heavier load!

Thank you for the demonstration; very helpful.

Its 2024, I'm 55, I started doing kb swings, db goblet squats, coupled with straight arm pulldowns, these exercises contribute to my regular session, I'm not wanting to go into my 60's without being mobile

This video is great for beginners as myself!

Needed this to adjust my form. Was leaning over way too much. Thanks!

Well done.

Thanks guys! I live to hear the breakdown of the mechanics behind each exercise. It helps me not only focus on the proper form but also hone in on the mind body connection to the correct muscle group. Thanks again! 🙂

Love the hat, Adam. =) Another very helpful video, definitely a mind pump.

Very helpful thank you

This is crazy to say but admittedly even watching this thoroughly it's still a move that takes so learning or getting used to....

Nailed it...great explaining it, great technique

Thank you! Somehow I always find myself always wanting to go into a dang squat!! This video was great.

Been doiing that wrong; thanks for the info

so how do you recommend adding it into your workout, how long do you do it for? do you progressively overload?

I love the kettlebell swing so much. I think it’s my favorite of all. We live such anterior dominated lifestyles and this one works the entire posterior chain, is both a strength and cardio exercise, highly functional, explosive, and helps develop the glutes nicely. I do have to be careful not to use too much weight, I’ve hurt my shoulders by using a KB too big for me to control on the descent.

This is not the way most kettlebell experts preach to start. You want to start with the bell in front of you. Then hike it back and snap. It’s done this way because I’m kettlebell training all movements are done with purpose and are in sync with breathing. Inhale as you hike back and then snap forward, hard exhale, and snap the hips. Also do not do that chicken neck. Keep the spine aligned. Check out Strong Firsts KZread page for the absolute best advice on everything kettlebell

Perfect video beginner... thx

What kettle bell weight should be used? is there a formula for estimating a good weight for your current strength and when should you move up in weight? Thanks nice vid.

Very helpful

Good technique,I started just going to the hips,from the floor to hip height,hips forward no swing.I first broke it into 2 movements,helped me smooth out the exercise learned how to like they said use the hips & gluteus.Yes @ 6:29 ☝️

What is this going to do if you have a periodic lower back pinch? Is this movement fundamentally good, or bad for people with lower back tightness (not pain, just soreness)?

Big help guys. Thank you

I like the talking and discussing the proper techniques and benefits. Make sure its done correctly. Good video

Watching this video really changed my perception on Kettlebell Exercises and how effective they can be!!

Is the rack for the Indian clubs homemade? I need one. Loved the video.

I am handicapped and appreciated the detail.

Question: how much do you bend your knees to get that hip hinge and thrust?

real bro talk! good info!

Love the explanation. Was looking for more info as I've been doing it incorrectly the last few months. Thank you 🙏✌️

good breakdown of the mechanics of the swing, thanks it made me understand the move better!

your neck is going back and forth, this not the best way. Keep your chin tucked in. Another thing I notice is you are standing on the outside of your feet, causing unnecessary pressure on your ankle. The best way is to go bare feet and grip the floor with your toes so you get activation from the ground up.

A lot of people like them for weightlifting/training because the bottoms are completely flat & they have virtually no give; your energy goes upward into the lift instead of sinking into the cushioning. However, Mark Rippetoe recommends against them, as he doesn't think the canvas uppers are supportive enough.

Great info... thanks for sharing this

@@TheHyde8875 So true! The way to tell if someone thinks they're hench or not is to ask them to fold their arms. If they're normal one hand will be visible on top of the bicep. People who think they have massive arms always put both hands under to emphasize the biceps.

how many kgs are they doing it with?

So nervous to try this for the fist time in a busy gym lol. Better to invest in my own bell and do it at home

Hey where do you buy the asteroids?

How high should the kettlebell swing up when it’s going up? Should it meet your chest or are you swinging the kettlebell too high by then?

You want it a bit less than 90 degrees. If it's straight out in front of your body that's the position where you'll be the most off balance and have potential for injury. Keep it a few degrees below that

Actually, the talking was not as extraneous as I expected. Really in context. Great job guys! [You guys should have seen this video of a guy in India teaching Futures contracts.😴. At one point he leaves to accept a package]

@XieTianXieDi888

Gabriel Laureano that is because of the way the Hard Style swing causes the bell to fly forward and pull at your lower and mid back. Look up the Kettlebell Sport swing. It’s more of a pendulum movement instead of a hinge movement and it saves your lower back from the strain.

@lynic-0091

Keep the kettlebell closer to your body, the further you hold it down, the more your back will hurt.

What if you turn the kettlebell 90 degrees and hold it so that the edge of the handle faces forwards?

Lovely, thank you.

I love all of the people bitching about the length and talking. You have the ability to skip through but for those that actually understand the body, we appreciate how deep they go in their explanation. You wanna do a kb swing just to move weight? Or do you want to understand what the fuck you're actually doing? Most of the complaints are coming from the former while they walk around with fully protracted shoulders looking like Quasimodo with ILS thinking they're God's gift to fitness.

Good vid, they are not just chatting they are talking with sense,

Comrade, you cannot talk about Pavel in this manner, if you value your health.

0:52 I saw someone do the squat type and then proceed to do a calf raise at the end LOL

I think I finally got it. It seem so silly, but without a personal trainer to watch you, well. What I heard from ALLLLL the talking (grow up and learn from people who seem to know a thing or two, or use your mouse and click forward, gasp!) was one word, cardio. The final tweak i needed, was the speed at which i was doing it, or lack thereof. I sped it up, and now my kettleball is not going so high, form looks much butter and back not feeling it so much. Thanks for the video!!

Watching this I realized that the falls I learned in jujitsu repaired me for the hip movement required for this. t felt so unnatural the push my hips forward & extend my back, especially wile falling to the ground, but I eventually got over that & the kettle bell swing was pretty easy to learn for me.

Not near enough squat, refer to Enter the Kettlebell by Pavel Tatsouline
