I know this video is 5years old so I dont know if anyone will read this, but ive actually did this for 67 days now. I change between normal swings and suitcase swings and started with 40kg or 3×20kg for 50swings, now im up to 48kg or 2×24kg for 100 swings. I do my normal training aswell
Kettling for me is a game changer. Ex-military, gym rat, busting my guts to get gains in the gym. 30 minutes in the garden with a 20kg bell has changed my fitness parameters.
Joe Daniels Swing This Kettlebell I like trying to do the snatch, 200 reps in 10 minutes but I can only do it with multiple hand changes. But I'm getting better.
I 'm a 60 years old woman. I adore kettlebells and I never going to stop training with them. I feel stronger and stronger and my body shape looks better for every day.
Kettlebells are my main form of training. Swings, Rack and Squat, goblets, High PUll etc. I am 74 years old and diagnosed with Rheumatoid Arthritis last year, which is now being helped by Cortisone etc. I'm feeling fantastic and back with the trainer aiming to get back to my original working weight of a 12kg bell which will then be an into into the heavier bells. .Also Regular and Sumo deadlifts with a 16 bell.. I do 110 x 10kg swings in one go, then onto squats etc. and do a workout with the bells aiming at building up the reps. I own two bells, 10kg and 16kg and actually enjoy the power swinging those bells gives me. Good for bone density and endurance, as well a core strength. Thanks for the video.
Hey man I just wanted to say that I'm really glad I watched this. I do 50 swings as part of my weightlifting warmup and doing so has made a HUGE difference in my lifts.
All I know is that when I did exclusive kettlebell work, I was able to do everyday strength function more easily. My kids got lighter, moving the huge window air conditioner from the upstairs bedroom to the basement was easier. It made my whole body work in unison. Love my squats and deads but kettlebell is best for everyday functional strength.
er....carrying a kid with one arm you can probably thank the KB for - but the eaase of moving the air conditioner you can thank the Deadlift and Squat for. For even greater efficiency, try Trap Bar deadifts instead
I am going to be 67 this year. I learned to use KBs about 10 years ago and use them several times a week. I teach KBs to elite athletes in their 20s and 30s and they can't believe the benefits of the work of KBs. I keep stressing that KBs are a total body workout. I never have my students do anything I can't do. I recently challenged them to do 3000 swings in 30 days. I did it with a 45 lb weight and we will see who steps to the challenge. None of them want to let this old guy whip their butts. We will see.
Made my own kettlebell out of 3/4" pipe and three 25 lb plates for a total of eighty pounds. Worked my way up to 40 reps, sometimes doing two or three sets of 40 reps in a day just to push myself. Been doing it daily for a week now. Slowly getting easier and upping my reps as well, now up to 42 this morning. Forgot to mention I turned 70 years old three days ago. Its never too late.
+neutral tenn thats wonderful ! Remember to listen to your body and give it times if rest as well. Even for this . I did one monthbof this weight then rotated through lower weights. Bout time for me to go this heavy again.
You are 100% right about the fact that you can build huge muscles and amazing strength with heavy kettlebell training alone, because i have done heavy kettlebell training for 4 years now combined with few other bodyweight moves. Have trained with weights for about 18 years now, but changed to heavy kettlebells only in 2013. I have 17 kettlebells/heaviest being 48kg golden one, lifting bench, gymnastic rings and a squat rack in my own gym and nothing else.
I just started doing KB swings, as I got burnt out on jump roping as form of cardio. Well let me back up. I used the elliptical, lost some weight. Got burnt out. Then I changed to jump rope, really started losing weight. Then I hit a plateau. Then I saw the KB's in my gym, & was like, why not? Started with 20lbs..then moved up to 53lbs., then on to the 72lbs or maybe 75lbs.(can't remember). Anyway, after having 3 babies, always had a kangaroo pouch. I was never able to lose it. My doc said unless I had surgery, it would always be that way. Since I started to use the KB, I noticed my pouch is leaving. So I'm no longer a skeptic, that's for sure.
I’ve done powerlifting, bodybuilding, and half marathons. Recently I witnessed a captain in the Army doing kettlebell swings and he was drenched in sweat. So I tried it, and booooy do those things get your heart rate up! I do sets of 20 for 3-4 sets and I can feel some flexibility I never had before in my rotator cups!
Pissed off the Fed-ex guy with my 100lb kettlebell delivery today. Not near 50 reps but I did do 3 sets of 10. The weight transfer took a little getting use too.
+TREX3151 Hahah. Yes mine always laughs when I get an order. That's awesome,. Weight transfer is why heavy kettlebells and kettlebells in general are amazing tools!
After watching this video I started kettlebell swings with my 88lb Rouge kettlebell and after a week I noticed major improvements and increase in my deadlift. Great Video!!!
Love it ,I am 51 still killing it with the bells ,currently added in 100 swings and 80 goblet squats with a 32 ,I have a 48 too so might give that test ago ,good work
Love you dude, I'm 54 years old been olympic lifting all my life , due to old inguries I discovered the Kettle bell a year ago and I haven't look back. I swing a 110LBS kettlebell for 300 reps a week, increasing weight when available. Love it, the fountain of youth for me.
Since the first of the year I've been doing 300 swings per day in 8 » 7 » 6 » 5 sets w/ a #12kg (25 lb.) KB. This week I upgraded to a #16kg (35 lb.) and am back to 8 sets (still 300 swings) reducing sets by 1 each week. In a month or so, I'll prob stay on 300/5 sets w/ a #16kg for a while before jumping up to a #20kg. My back is way, way stronger (and feels better) and my grip strength is noticeably better. Backside, glutes, etc... feel stronger. Slight shoulder soreness w/ the switch to the #16kg. Cheers!
Thank you Joe! Stumbled on your youtube vids and love them. Have put my back out three times this year trying to kettlebell swing and watched your vid on doing it correctly, looking forward to a pain free back so I can get back to it the right way :)
im happy it helps. please study it several times . and focus on bracing your spine with your abdominals during every part of the swing. dont go as hard as i do in this video. perhaps start with a softer style swing.
Kettlebells are the perfect mix of concentric motion for strength training and less eccentric resistance with your back relaxed for a split second after the kettlebell reaches the apex point of the swing and you start to brace for the inertia and go for another rep (thus less muscle tear). You’re able to do it everyday because it’s 2/3 concentric. Kinda like deadlifting, dropping the weight at the top, repeat.
Would have been nice to see it slowed down for a rep or three just to see your form. Many videos of folks showing the "how to" but very few are swinging over 100 lbs while doing it.
Im doing this too. With a 40kg every second day, doing single arm swings sometimes. TGU's with the 40kg. Feels really good. Totally agree about 2 handed swings, we get into snatching or other stuff. Big value in going back to basics.
Correct. Force = Mass x Acceleration. If you are changing the direction of a weight (decelerating it and accelerating it in the opposite direction) you are going to apply high forces on to your body. If that’s done safely you will work muscles hard and the forces involved might be higher than relatively statics lifts with higher weights (masses). That’s why the ballistics of moving a relatively light kettlebell can give an equivalent training effect of moving hundreds of pounds Deadlifting.
I like it! I've just been incorporating kettle bell swings into a 5x5 routine. I'll try 50 swings after each workout and every day in between and see how it goes.
You can train to increase muscle size or strength: best to separate the two if you want really noticeable results fast; increase the mechanical load overtime by increasing weight, sometimes maintain or decrease the weight slightly but increase the repetition time e.g. 6s concentric and 10 eccentric per rep for 6 reps using 2 planes of motion per muscle group 3-5 minutes rest after each exercise will significantly boost your strength. Increasing volume of repetitions with more sets per exercise and 30-60s rest time between sets will boost size more. You can also use metabolic conditioning to massively boost strength. Kettlebells can be used for all 3 of these training styles!
You can either lower weight so u can control to start: or just try to hold at top where the muscles are at their weakest and will force more core engagement. Just mixes up the training a bit is as good as a rest :)
I realize in my fitness life the one area I was deficiant in is my hip area. This is the link between our upper and lower torso making us complete and whole. Adding this made a huge difference. Great video. Knew a guy when you asked him how he was doing he would always reply, .....I'm improving.
Great video again - although would have preferred to see the 50 reps in normal time ! I will try it and add to my workout - good work Joe .Mike from the UK
Great video. Very inspiring. I only have a 12kg kettlebell, but after seeing your video a few days ago I've now started doing 50 one arm swings a day. My gym has been closed since March 20th and probably won't be open for a long while. It's good to try new things. I am more used to doing barbell squats and deadlifts etc, so getting to work with kettlebells is a fun challenge. Your videos are superb. Thank you for making them. Stay safe and best wishes to you and your loved ones.
Working up to 50 in a row. I did 100 total swings with my new 106 lb Kettlebell. 6 sets of 15 and 1set of 10. I alternated between hip driven swings and knee driven swings for variety. Definitely feeling it today lol
@@thechugdude good to know, I'm getting back into KB swings. Just did 12 with my 88lb, took a couple of minutes and did 17 with my 97lb. Just ordered a 123lb this morning, can't wait.
i have started a 44kg swing + stair climbing the 2nd of this month. day 1 - 50 swings + 18 floors running day 2 - 60 swings + 18 floors running day 3 - 70 day 4 pause tomorrrow - 80 + 18 floors running in addition to this, i do 2x 22kg kettlebell snatches before lunch day 1 : 4 reps -5 reps -6 reps day 2 : 7-8-9 day 3 : 9- 10-11 tomorrow i will start all over again with 2x 24kg
Difficult for me to really digest just how effective kettlebells have been over the last few months of my life. Never took a second look at them previously, was all about the squat rack and Olympic lifts. Randomly coming across this video invited me to purchase a set of kettlebells and give this a try. The “WTF” effect is mind blowing. Body composition has changed; arm girth, hamstring development, trap development, grip string, VERTICAL JUMP. I’m sold and eternally grateful I randomly stumbled into the kettlebell universe.
I think kettlebell swings are the best exercise there is. I got a lot stronger from doing kettlebell swings, that also translated to my deadlifts, than actually just doing deadlifts. I started with a 16kg kettlebell, and after a month I was up to 24kg, now I do dropsets with my 24, 20 and 16kg kettlebell. Planning on getting 28 and 32kg kettlebell's soon. I always thought they were useless before I actually started doing them, and feel way stronger, and look better than I did doing deadlift, squat bench etc. And as a disabled man, they actually help my overall health. And less strain on my back than deadlifting honestly.
I watched this video yesterday and was so inspired that I did 2 sets of 50 reps with a 72 lb kettle bell today at the end of my workout. My gyms heaviest bell. Thanks man
@@kettlebellmusclegain my core feels super solid . Even 5 hours later. I super setted them with 10 squat presses with 30 lb dumbbells and 5 dead hang pull ups. Talk about winded...holy crap. Gonna try to do that every day. Not bad for 53. You inspire me.
I have never used kettle bells. Only dumbbells and machines. After hearing these benefits, I am excited to add this in. Wish I would have known sooner ..
Excellent- I've been doing a similar thing with two sets of 40 swings, swinging a 50# KB. Takes only two to three minutes. It is getting easier! I have a 70# I'll try for a set of 50 swings. Gulp.... Thanks Joe!
Great video. Did you do the one-arms with the 40kg? I did the 50 reps 2-hand swings with the 56kg over a year ago and I'm thinking of doing it again. I started with 20/20/10 then 25/20/5 then 35/20 then 40/10 then 50. I thought it would take a couple weeks and was astounded at how quickly you can adapt to a given exercise. It really taught me a lot about breathing and have been super conscious about how I breath during endurance-type exercises ever since.
I start my day at the gym and stick to weights because cardio just isn’t fun for me. I started jumping rope in October (I bought a set of 4 diff weighted ropes) and 3 months later I saw a video on KB swings so I gave it a try, for my first month did 100 swings almost daily with a 20lb and just today I bumped it up to 26lbs...I get a full body cardio workout and see an improvement all around...I’ll be sticking with KB’s and add jump rope as well...no need to be running any marathons when I have those two to do! 😁
Hi thanks for your videos im a big fan of Pavel, Steve Cotter, Steve Maxwell nad Chris Duffin. Saw your talk on Duffins channel and got hooked at your channel. Very informative and good quality knowledge is on your channel. Regarding to your video about the 50 heavy kettlebell swings a day: do you warm up? Im asking because im training everyday with kettlebells and have a really good collection of kettlebells at home (happliy to inform that i will have a 48 kg soon very excited about that too). so my second question is can i do this 50 swings a day in the morning and continue with my routine in the afternoon? [i train with my bells everyday] again thanks for your videos! keep it coming! Peace!
I don't know if I'm doing my swings right. I've always tried to use Pavel's instructional videos. It seems like there are a few different ways people do them.
I’ve been plying with the 45KG with swings of about 150 a day - sets of 50 the goal is to hit 1,000 non stop. Bud Jefferies made 2,000 in 45 min. With a 45KG and while I don’t expect to do that .. I like the idea of burning out 1,000 unbroken swings
Awesome video. I like your down to Earth style. I'm new to kettlebells. This video helped me make up my mind to purchase my first kettlebell. I'm glad I did. Great way to get in shape in a short amount of time! Thanks!
Great I'm,happy to hear that. My channel is filled with knowledge and. Almost 10 years of experience . ask questions if you wish and I also offer online personalized plans.,
Awesome, Been hitting two hand swings all this week. Nice to see others are playing with it.. Double 32's sets of ten for 5 sets. Liking the strength i'm seeing. Glutes are failing on the 5 set.
My wife and I used Babybells by Lauren Brooks 6 years ago. I had 45lb'ers and she used 15lb's. It took 5 days to complete a workout designed for pregnant women. The wife tells me on the second day, that maybe I should go buy lighter bells. I assured her I knew my body and it would adapt. It did. In just 5 workouts. Same as yours adapted to the new " old " swings. Great topic and share. Thanks.
@@kettlebellmusclegain I got a 12kg today, perhaps I work on my form and strength first. I couldn't even come close with a Turkish get up with a 16kg. Thanks again from Canada!
Thanks, I always do. The kettlebell has been life changing for me. I was stabbed through the shoulder and had my leg and knee torn to shit in an explosion. The kettlebell allowed me to slowly rebuild my strength in my shoulder and stability in my knee. Your page is one of the sites that I have used to pick up knowledge quickly! Thanks! Take care.
+Lori V awesome glad it helps! Yeah thats damn heavy! Start with something you can do 50 with now and continue it . let some others know about this channel please
I am humbled. I can only get to about 35-40 with a 24 kilo bell before dropping it. My grip is weak! However, I am new to kettle bell training and my results have been improving over time. I have a 32 kilo bell, and my goal is to build up to being able to do sets of 25 reps with the 32 kilo. First I am working my way to doing 50 reps with my current weight.
Heavy two hand swings are my favorite exercise. On top of the powerful hip extension, I feel them in my whole upper back. They're also a great total body mass builder done right
LOVE YOUR VIDEOS. I HAVE BEEN DOING THE 50 PLUS KETTLE BELL SWINGS FOR ABOUT A MONTH NOW. FEEL GOOD SINCE I CAN'T CHANGE THE WORLD WITH KETTLE BELLS, I AM TRYING TO CHANGE MY INSIDES WITH THEM. I COME FROM A FAMILY OF HIGH BLOOD PRESSURE, BAD CHOLESTEROL AND YOU NAME IT. THIS MONDAY IS THE BIG DAY. BLOOD WORK AUGUST 12, 2019 WILL BE THE DAY FOR RESULTS. GIVING IT MY ALL UNTIL THEN. BIG THANKS KARL57
After being a bit injured and also stressed from work. I've been building myself up again. And this (Xmas) holiday I've been doing swings every day. I've been underestimated the swing it's really amazing. I've also been focusing on the clean and wow what a fantastic and important moment that is too🤗
I've been doing 175 push-ups, 175 sit-ups and 35 pull-ups everyday for the last 11 weeks. I just added 35lb kettlebell swings into this daily routine. I'm doing 100 a day! It has been awhile since I've done them so I started off with 4 sets of 25 and quickly realized I could do more so now I'm doing 2 sets of 50, working my way to doing 100 in one set. I'm feeling like 35lbs is already too light but I'm working out from home and don't want to have to purchase 10 different kettlebells. Do you think I should go up to 55lbs next and then 75lbs or jump right to 75lbs?
I’m 60, retired 2 months ago, moved to Nicaragua, and got back into the gym after 3 years in the US, being chained to my house and laptop, working during covid. The only thing I was doing was walking and 100 push-ups a day. I have been hitting the gym 3 times a week and feel surprisingly good. I walk 30 minutes there dow the mountain and about 45 minutes home up the mountain to go to the gym. I am working out about 45 minutes just trying to get in reasonable shape again, so it is a 2 hour trek, in total. I am thinking about adding in a kettlebell workout for core and cardio. I want to start light and get good at it, to avoid injury of any kind…then get heavier after a while. Would you suggest like a 35 pounder….and maybe 100 swings ? Thx !
I'm a hard gainer and used to be strictly a barbell/dumbell kind of guy. Out of necessity I got a pair of 24kg kettlebells. I gained more mass with those kettlebells and bodyweight exercises than I ever had before.
52 &1/2 years old and I remember my grandfather using kettle bells when I was a toddler he cane from Scotland 🏴 I tinkered with them back then but got away from then when I got to my early teens and went with the western barbell system, fast forward to just 6 months ago and I’ve got back into kettle bells and love it it’s fun and does so much within a short time span of effort spent definitely a big win and with a lifetime of contact sports injuries it helps me to work my entire body with one or two simple basic moves well worth the effort and the raw strength I’m getting is a big help with my current job endeavors also it helps tremendously with the sex life trust dare I go TMI lol .
LOVE the KB. Worked my way up to doing suitcase dls with 2×32k, 6reps. I'm 50kg and 51. No setting up when I can't lift the trap bar out of its holder 🤣
That's the fastest cycle time I've ever seen... lol in 2015 I did one year of daily swings to see how many swings I could accumulate. It was amazing what changes I had in grip strength and how much easier snatches were. Maybe I'll grab another daily planner and start tracking heavy swings for 2017.
I will give this a try. I just started using kettlebells, and one of the questions I have is how many times a week the exercises should be done. I am assuming that the more isolated the exercise is, the more rest time one should give their muscles; and the combo exercises (using multiple muscles) can be done more often. If anyone has more specific info about the various exercises, I would appreciate any advice.
Great questions, can anyone answer? I would be interested in doing kettlebell swings everyday but wouldn't that lead to muscle fatigue since you use the same muscles? Would you be able to do other weightlifting exercises for chest legs shoulders?
@@mikethompson6098 Read Simple & Sinister - the philosophy -- "if you don't have hard days, you don't need easy days" - make every day the same effort, below your max, and keep it more consistent, and since it's a full body workout, you don't need the "easy days"
Joe...I know you did this video and that challenge many years ago, but I'd like to ask a question if you care to answer. Someone asked you if you did the 50 swings on rest days which was an obvious *Yes* if you said you were doing them everyday. But my question is when you do them on a rest day and there is only just the 50 swings or 90 secs of work.....do you warm up or do you just go straight into it?. I'm thinking that if you can 50 reps anything...the warm up is built in.....would I be correct? Love all your content btw. You were very helpful in your review of the KK adjustable kbell. I went and bought one and it should arrive soon.
more truth bombs from the guru. i too have done the 10k kb swings many times. kind of like this addition to everything else i do. going to start with 40kg. thanks.
I've just started training with kettle bells, i joined a gym and started doing strong lifts 5x5 but i can never get on the squat racks consistently because the Personal trainers are always using them with soccer moms. The gym has lots of kettle bells i think up to 30 maybe and no one ever uses them so I'm going to focus on them. Im not looking to build insane muscle but loose a bit of fat, gain strength and conditioning and improve mobility to make day to day life easier. Ill be watching all your videos man looking forward to it.
That's crazy heavy, it will take me a while to get there. I am swinging 20kg right now 3X10 sets but I will definitely try what you are doing. Thanx for sharing.
Dude all I have is a 20lb kettlebell and it sucks because they are sold out everywhere right now. It’s been great for shoulder presses but I feel like it’s kinda useless for swings. I’m still doing them anyway.
new subscriber Alert! I'm going to sign up for a kettlebell class now. Thanks for creating this channel. Question? what type of shoes are those you're wearing in the video? I want to purchase them. badass!
This definitely sounds like me. I was just thinking yesterday. I’ve got to get back to the swing. It’s all I used to do. It really is the best exercise ever. In my opinion.
I have been working with a 60 pound KB for two years now. I can swing, DL to high pull, and goblet squat easily (sets of 10 often tri-setting those movements). I want to move up to a 90 pounder (thinking sets of 5 of those movements I mentioned). Thoughts and/or suggestions?....
i watched this video a few weeks ago and bought my first kettlebell. im not strong in my upper body as my past focus has been on cycling and time trials and more recently running - from 10k to ultra marathons (only started running in jan 2017). Anyway, to be on the sfe side i got a 24kg and a 16kg. so i try swinging the 24kg but couldnt manage more than 15 reps - so went for a run to loosen up and came back to try out the 16kg bell. bad idea. i was already warm from the run, so as i was doing reps, my hands started to sweat. as i continued i started to tire and around 43 swings in i lost grip, the weight continued forward in to my stereo and sent it flying whilst smashing the glass stand it was on and leaving a nice dent in my wall. guess i will continue doing these outside in future
I know this video is 5years old so I dont know if anyone will read this, but ive actually did this for 67 days now. I change between normal swings and suitcase swings and started with 40kg or 3×20kg for 50swings, now im up to 48kg or 2×24kg for 100 swings. I do my normal training aswell
Impressive!
Thx! It feels very good and have made my other lifts better and im a much stronger rower now, as rowing is my main training
Nice
UA-cam lives FOEVA!! LOL WE ARE STILL HERE AND YOU ARE SUPER DOPE!!!! I DO 100 IN ALL. ABT 30 AT A TIME THEN LAST SET OF 10
Thanks
Kettling for me is a game changer. Ex-military, gym rat, busting my guts to get gains in the gym. 30 minutes in the garden with a 20kg bell has changed my fitness parameters.
nice to hear!!
Awesome!
I'm 45 and Kettlebells have made me fitter than I was twenty years ago.
+Warren Davis awesome to hear. What is your favorite part of kb so far?
probably cause you weren't doing shit 20 years ago
Joe Daniels Swing This Kettlebell I like trying to do the snatch, 200 reps in 10 minutes but I can only do it with multiple hand changes. But I'm getting better.
have you watched my snatch technique videos?
Hey Joe what kind of heart rate tracker do you use? I'm having a hard one finding one that will work during a kettlebell workout
I 'm a 60 years old woman. I adore kettlebells and I never going to stop training with them. I feel stronger and stronger and my body shape looks better for every day.
Monserrat K yes! Hello nice to meet you
Kettlebells are my main form of training. Swings, Rack and Squat, goblets, High PUll etc. I am 74 years old and diagnosed with Rheumatoid Arthritis last year, which is now being helped by Cortisone etc. I'm feeling fantastic and back with the trainer aiming to get back to my original working weight of a 12kg bell which will then be an into into the heavier bells. .Also Regular and Sumo deadlifts with a 16 bell.. I do 110 x 10kg swings in one go, then onto squats etc. and do a workout with the bells aiming at building up the reps. I own two bells, 10kg and 16kg and actually enjoy the power swinging those bells gives me. Good for bone density and endurance, as well a core strength. Thanks for the video.
JULIE HOCK good job! inspirational!
JULIE HOCK thats awesome proud of you!
JULIE HOCK i have back pain i just started kettle bell swings my back pain has eased instantly sleeping better more positive mental energy.
JULIE HOCK so old age is a crock of shit.
I'm young but I have arthritis in my lower spine and neck. Kettlebells + yoga = no pain and more flexible back. :)

I agree
I am going to be 67 this year. I learned to use KBs about 10 years ago and use them several times a week. I teach KBs to elite athletes in their 20s and 30s and they can't believe the benefits of the work of KBs. I keep stressing that KBs are a total body workout. I never have my students do anything I can't do. I recently challenged them to do 3000 swings in 30 days. I did it with a 45 lb weight and we will see who steps to the challenge. None of them want to let this old guy whip their butts. We will see.
Made my own kettlebell out of 3/4" pipe and three 25 lb plates for a total of eighty pounds. Worked my way up to 40 reps, sometimes doing two or three sets of 40 reps in a day just to push myself.
Been doing it daily for a week now. Slowly getting easier and upping my reps as well, now up to 42 this morning. Forgot to mention I turned 70 years old three days ago. Its never too late.
+neutral tenn thats wonderful ! Remember to listen to your body and give it times if rest as well. Even for this . I did one monthbof this weight then rotated through lower weights. Bout time for me to go this heavy again.
Daaamn good for you
That is fantastic ! Please post a video so that people can get inspired. Thanks.
You are 100% right about the fact that you can build huge muscles and amazing strength with heavy kettlebell training alone, because i have done heavy kettlebell training for 4 years now combined with few other bodyweight moves.

Pissed off the Fed-ex guy with my 100lb kettlebell delivery today. Not near 50 reps but I did do 3 sets of 10. The weight transfer took a little getting use too.
+TREX3151 Hahah. Yes mine always laughs when I get an order. That's awesome,. Weight transfer is why heavy kettlebells and kettlebells in general are amazing tools!
After watching this video I started kettlebell swings with my 88lb Rouge kettlebell and after a week I noticed major improvements and increase in my deadlift. Great Video!!!
Good to hear!
Love it ,I am 51 still killing it with the bells ,currently added in 100 swings and 80 goblet squats with a 32 ,I have a 48 too so might give that test ago ,good work
its that time again. I think I'm doing this one arm at a time with 40 kg 25 reps each side each day
Thanks for taking the time to do and share this Joe.
Youre welcome
Love you dude, I'm 54 years old been olympic lifting all my life , due to old inguries I discovered the Kettle bell a year ago and I haven't look back. I swing a 110LBS kettlebell for 300 reps a week, increasing weight when available. Love it, the fountain of youth for me.
Wonderful. Happy you're here!
Since the first of the year I've been doing 300 swings per day in 8 » 7 » 6 » 5 sets w/ a #12kg (25 lb.) KB. This week I upgraded to a #16kg (35 lb.) and am back to 8 sets (still 300 swings) reducing sets by 1 each week. In a month or so, I'll prob stay on 300/5 sets w/ a #16kg for a while before jumping up to a #20kg. My back is way, way stronger (and feels better) and my grip strength is noticeably better. Backside, glutes, etc... feel stronger. Slight shoulder soreness w/ the switch to the #16kg. Cheers!
Jame Donovan how exactly are you hitting 300 reps?
Jame Donovan iiiii
day 2 of 20 pounds 70 times i feel good from it . i will move up to 100 a day in a month . but, at 73 this works!!
Thank you Joe! Stumbled on your youtube vids and love them. Have put my back out three times this year trying to kettlebell swing and watched your vid on doing it correctly, looking forward to a pain free back so I can get back to it the right way :)
im happy it helps. please study it several times . and focus on bracing your spine with your abdominals during every part of the swing. dont go as hard as i do in this video. perhaps start with a softer style swing.
Thanks for your videos man. I really enjoy them and always find new ideas
Thanks man. lift carefully with this one dont E-GO.
SwingThis Kettlebell and Strength I will, thanks
i apppreciate you watching and your words!
Kettlebells are the perfect mix of concentric motion for strength training and less eccentric resistance with your back relaxed for a split second after the kettlebell reaches the apex point of the swing and you start to brace for the inertia and go for another rep (thus less muscle tear). You’re able to do it everyday because it’s 2/3 concentric. Kinda like deadlifting, dropping the weight at the top, repeat.
Would have been nice to see it slowed down for a rep or three just to see your form. Many videos of folks showing the "how to" but very few are swinging over 100 lbs while doing it.
50 swings a day helped me have the best deadlift I've had in awhile. Super strong and smooth. Wow...I'm convinced.
+Tbarr73 thats awesome to hear! Glad it helps!
How much do you deadlift now?
Awesome testing! Real Life experiential results.Definitely using this information as part of my regular training..Thank you:)
Welcome . feel free to join our 50 swings a day group on facebook.
Thank You for the invitation! (not on facebook yet navigating my way there soon:))
Great vids man! I actually got into kettle bells because of injury. Great way to increase strength without using a lot of weight.
Im doing this too. With a 40kg every second day, doing single arm swings sometimes. TGU's with the 40kg. Feels really good. Totally agree about 2 handed swings, we get into snatching or other stuff. Big value in going back to basics.
Nice
Dude, your hilarious. You made me laugh when you went into super fast swing mode! I love it man!
Thanks thats my goal!
Correct. Force = Mass x Acceleration. If you are changing the direction of a weight (decelerating it and accelerating it in the opposite direction) you are going to apply high forces on to your body. If that’s done safely you will work muscles hard and the forces involved might be higher than relatively statics lifts with higher weights (masses). That’s why the ballistics of moving a relatively light kettlebell can give an equivalent training effect of moving hundreds of pounds Deadlifting.
I like it! I've just been incorporating kettle bell swings into a 5x5 routine. I'll try 50 swings after each workout and every day in between and see how it goes.
+willesloco sounds great!
Joe, would you include the 5x5 (25 reps), as part of the 50, or should you do 50 by themselves after?
You can train to increase muscle size or strength: best to separate the two if you want really noticeable results fast; increase the mechanical load overtime by increasing weight, sometimes maintain or decrease the weight slightly but increase the repetition time e.g. 6s concentric and 10 eccentric per rep for 6 reps using 2 planes of motion per muscle group 3-5 minutes rest after each exercise will significantly boost your strength. Increasing volume of repetitions with more sets per exercise and 30-60s rest time between sets will boost size more. You can also use metabolic conditioning to massively boost strength. Kettlebells can be used for all 3 of these training styles!
Yup that is one way. But not possible to change tempo with KB swings in theis ROM.
And thats why I love to use KB to train with
You can either lower weight so u can control to start: or just try to hold at top where the muscles are at their weakest and will force more core engagement. Just mixes up the training a bit is as good as a rest :)
I realize in my fitness life the one area I was deficiant in is my hip area. This is the link between our upper and lower torso making us complete and whole. Adding this made a huge difference. Great video. Knew a guy when you asked him how he was doing he would always reply, .....I'm improving.
Great acknowledgement.
I am 45 years old this summer and been doing kb swings for a long time and i wrestle and do Muay Thi and kb workouts get all the credit
Nice!
Great video again - although would have preferred to see the 50 reps in normal time ! I will try it and add to my workout - good work Joe .Mike from the UK
+Michael Grant thanks man but people don't watch that so it kills the regent up n on video. But it takes 75 seconds.
Great video. Very inspiring. I only have a 12kg kettlebell, but after seeing your video a few days ago I've now started doing 50 one arm swings a day. My gym has been closed since March 20th and probably won't be open for a long while. It's good to try new things. I am more used to doing barbell squats and deadlifts etc, so getting to work with kettlebells is a fun challenge. Your videos are superb. Thank you for making them. Stay safe and best wishes to you and your loved ones.
thank you for supporting !
Working up to 50 in a row. I did 100 total swings with my new 106 lb Kettlebell. 6 sets of 15 and 1set of 10. I alternated between hip driven swings and knee driven swings for variety. Definitely feeling it today lol
Nice! Good progression
thechugdude nice I have 25lbs kettlebell I wanna work my way up too 35lbs kettlebell
What kind of rest between sets, thx in advance
@@jjaypein about 2-3 minutes. I'm a thicc dude. Lol
@@thechugdude good to know, I'm getting back into KB swings. Just did 12 with my 88lb, took a couple of minutes and did 17 with my 97lb. Just ordered a 123lb this morning, can't wait.
i have started a 44kg swing + stair climbing the 2nd of this month.
day 1 - 50 swings + 18 floors running
day 2 - 60 swings + 18 floors running
day 3 - 70
day 4 pause
tomorrrow - 80 + 18 floors running
in addition to this, i do 2x 22kg kettlebell snatches before lunch
day 1 : 4 reps -5 reps -6 reps
day 2 : 7-8-9
day 3 : 9- 10-11
tomorrow i will start all over again with 2x 24kg
had to subscribe. loved the vibes in the comments. great positivity
+PeteRockChronicles thanks. Hah yes. The last comment was along different lines though.
Gonna have to put the kettle on an think about this.
+Dylan Fowler ha yep!
Nothing to think about. Just get on it.
boom!
First time I've watched one of your videos and I'm now subscribed.
+Josh Gurk awesome lots of them cor you to look through! Thanks!
Difficult for me to really digest just how effective kettlebells have been over the last few months of my life. Never took a second look at them previously, was all about the squat rack and Olympic lifts. Randomly coming across this video invited me to purchase a set of kettlebells and give this a try. The “WTF” effect is mind blowing. Body composition has changed; arm girth, hamstring development, trap development, grip string, VERTICAL JUMP. I’m sold and eternally grateful I randomly stumbled into the kettlebell universe.
Hell yeah
Just turned 50 yesterday and I am up to 40 swings per day with a 50lb kettlebell with a 37mm handle, not easy to hold onto be so far so good
Nice to hear!
Subscribed!
Brilliant advice and absolutely spot on.
Awesome and thanks!
I think kettlebell swings are the best exercise there is. I got a lot stronger from doing kettlebell swings, that also translated to my deadlifts, than actually just doing deadlifts. I started with a 16kg kettlebell, and after a month I was up to 24kg, now I do dropsets with my 24, 20 and 16kg kettlebell. Planning on getting 28 and 32kg kettlebell's soon. I always thought they were useless before I actually started doing them, and feel way stronger, and look better than I did doing deadlift, squat bench etc. And as a disabled man, they actually help my overall health. And less strain on my back than deadlifting honestly.
Happy to hear!
I watched this video yesterday and was so inspired that I did 2 sets of 50 reps with a 72 lb kettle bell today at the end of my workout. My gyms heaviest bell. Thanks man
Heck yeah man how you feel?
@@kettlebellmusclegain my core feels super solid . Even 5 hours later. I super setted them with 10 squat presses with 30 lb dumbbells and 5 dead hang pull ups. Talk about winded...holy crap. Gonna try to do that every day. Not bad for 53. You inspire me.
@@kettlebellmusclegain here's an update, 2 days later after the 100, 70 lb swings: upper back and traps feel worked. A little sore, not bad
Glad to hear man. Stay in touch here!
I have never used kettle bells. Only dumbbells and machines. After hearing these benefits, I am excited to add this in. Wish I would have known sooner ..
Any day is a good day to start
Love your channel! You're a G! Thank you!
Welcome
Awesome video. Thank you for sharing
Very welcome
Your channel is gold.
I appreciate that!. Hopefully it takes off more soon. Hahha
Good shit, definitely gonna do this.
Excellent- I've been doing a similar thing with two sets of 40 swings, swinging a 50# KB. Takes only two to three minutes. It is getting easier! I have a 70# I'll try for a set of 50 swings. Gulp.... Thanks Joe!
heck yes. yes my 50 set is only 75 sec long. so lots of work in short time . well done.
SwingThis Kettlebell and Strength just did a set of 50 with a 70lb KB this morning. Actually easier than I thought it would be!
great video. finally someone with logic about kettlebells
+reg profant thanks I appreciate that a lot aahah
Love the idea behind it. I'm gonna try it too, why not? Thanks man!
glad you see the philosophy!
Currently doing the 10,000 swing challenge. I'll have to try this afterwards.
Peter LaRosa okay what the hell is that please tell thanks
Great video. Did you do the one-arms with the 40kg? I did the 50 reps 2-hand swings with the 56kg over a year ago and I'm thinking of doing it again. I started with 20/20/10 then 25/20/5 then 35/20 then 40/10 then 50. I thought it would take a couple weeks and was astounded at how quickly you can adapt to a given exercise. It really taught me a lot about breathing and have been super conscious about how I breath during endurance-type exercises ever since.
Amazing! I'm gonna try this for a few months. Thanks!
+Jason Moore find something thats sustainable dont go overboard at first.
yes, sir, I started with a 50 lb. It felt too easy, so might try a bigger bell next week.
I start my day at the gym and stick to weights because cardio just isn’t fun for me. I started jumping rope in October (I bought a set of 4 diff weighted ropes) and 3 months later I saw a video on KB swings so I gave it a try, for my first month did 100 swings almost daily with a 20lb and just today I bumped it up to 26lbs...I get a full body cardio workout and see an improvement all around...I’ll be sticking with KB’s and add jump rope as well...no need to be running any marathons when I have those two to do! 😁
Glad we can help!
Hi thanks for your videos im a big fan of Pavel, Steve Cotter, Steve Maxwell nad Chris Duffin. Saw your talk on Duffins channel and got hooked at your channel. Very informative and good quality knowledge is on your channel. Regarding to your video about the 50 heavy kettlebell swings a day: do you warm up? Im asking because im training everyday with kettlebells and have a really good collection of kettlebells at home (happliy to inform that i will have a 48 kg soon very excited about that too). so my second question is can i do this 50 swings a day in the morning and continue with my routine in the afternoon? [i train with my bells everyday]
again thanks for your videos!
keep it coming!
Peace!
I don't know if I'm doing my swings right. I've always tried to use Pavel's instructional videos. It seems like there are a few different ways people do them.
so many different ways . there is no one way except the way you can progress steadily to your goal without getting injured.
I’ve been plying with the 45KG with swings of about 150 a day - sets of 50 the goal is to hit 1,000 non stop. Bud Jefferies made 2,000 in 45 min. With a 45KG and while I don’t expect to do that .. I like the idea of burning out 1,000 unbroken swings
Why?
You have literally re-motivated me. Struggling with an 18kg GS bell from Wolverson. 39 reps on day one 😂. I think the 40kg can wait. ...😂😂😂
+Sohail Z aawesome. And yes it can wait!
Awesome video. I like your down to Earth style. I'm new to kettlebells. This video helped me make up my mind to purchase my first kettlebell. I'm glad I did. Great way to get in shape in a short amount of time! Thanks!
Great I'm,happy to hear that. My channel is filled with knowledge and. Almost 10 years of experience . ask questions if you wish and I also offer online personalized plans.,
Awesome, Been hitting two hand swings all this week. Nice to see others are playing with it.. Double 32's sets of ten for 5 sets. Liking the strength i'm seeing. Glutes are failing on the 5 set.
+wandernstan nice! Simple to add just one rep each set and take it as far as you can. Before fatigue
Good idea, thanks.
very welcome
+wandernstan wwelcome
12 24 24 .. Getting fun. Hard but Fun. Strong.
I am in! Started today 50 KB swings ..
Nice
Update?
Gained lots of muscle and endurance. Do it nearly every workout now with 24kg to 48kg.
My wife and I used Babybells by Lauren Brooks 6 years ago. I had 45lb'ers and she used 15lb's. It took 5 days to complete a workout designed for pregnant women. The wife tells me on the second day, that maybe I should go buy lighter bells. I assured her I knew my body and it would adapt. It did. In just 5 workouts. Same as yours adapted to the new " old " swings. Great topic and share. Thanks.
+Mostly humble 1 awesome.
Bro, you're naturally funny! Great video, you have inspired me to get a KB!
Nice. Thanks Dont go too heavy at first. Learn good form and go from there. Between 16 and 24kg is good.
@@kettlebellmusclegain I got a 12kg today, perhaps I work on my form and strength first. I couldn't even come close with a Turkish get up with a 16kg. Thanks again from Canada!
I'm starting this tomorrow at the end of every workout.
Remember to listen to your body.
Thanks, I always do. The kettlebell has been life changing for me. I was stabbed through the shoulder and had my leg and knee torn to shit in an explosion. The kettlebell allowed me to slowly rebuild my strength in my shoulder and stability in my knee. Your page is one of the sites that I have used to pick up knowledge quickly! Thanks! Take care.
Great video! I'm so glad I stumbled across your UA-cam channel!! I've got a 36kg KB, I'll have to work up to 50 consecutive swings though!
+Lori V awesome glad it helps! Yeah thats damn heavy! Start with something you can do 50 with now and continue it . let some others know about this channel please
My 48 kg. It's newer. It has a thick handle too. It's hard. Big difference in higher rep range for sure. I shall try.
Nice
@@kettlebellmusclegain if you feel inclined, give me a follow on I.g. strong_beyond_50
I am humbled. I can only get to about 35-40 with a 24 kilo bell before dropping it. My grip is weak! However, I am new to kettle bell training and my results have been improving over time. I have a 32 kilo bell, and my goal is to build up to being able to do sets of 25 reps with the 32 kilo. First I am working my way to doing 50 reps with my current weight.
+Lewis Yaworski jgreat job. That's the point. I wasn't anywhere near this when,i started with kettlebells.
Heavy two hand swings are my favorite exercise. On top of the powerful hip extension, I feel them in my whole upper back. They're also a great total body mass builder done right
Good stuff. Bence 50 in a row is a great benefitm
Never done much more than 10 in a set. Gonna have to give 50 a try. Thanks, brother!
LOVE YOUR VIDEOS.
I HAVE BEEN DOING THE 50 PLUS KETTLE BELL SWINGS FOR ABOUT A MONTH NOW. FEEL GOOD
SINCE I CAN'T CHANGE THE WORLD WITH KETTLE BELLS, I AM TRYING TO CHANGE MY INSIDES WITH THEM. I COME FROM A FAMILY OF HIGH BLOOD PRESSURE, BAD CHOLESTEROL AND YOU NAME IT.
THIS MONDAY IS THE BIG DAY. BLOOD WORK
AUGUST 12, 2019 WILL BE THE DAY FOR RESULTS.
GIVING IT MY ALL UNTIL THEN.
BIG THANKS

Happy to help
After being a bit injured and also stressed from work. I've been building myself up again. And this (Xmas) holiday I've been doing swings every day. I've been underestimated the swing it's really amazing. I've also been focusing on the clean and wow what a fantastic and important moment that is too🤗
Clean is Queen. Most important KB exercise
I've been doing 175 push-ups, 175 sit-ups and 35 pull-ups everyday for the last 11 weeks. I just added 35lb kettlebell swings into this daily routine. I'm doing 100 a day! It has been awhile since I've done them so I started off with 4 sets of 25 and quickly realized I could do more so now I'm doing 2 sets of 50, working my way to doing 100 in one set. I'm feeling like 35lbs is already too light but I'm working out from home and don't want to have to purchase 10 different kettlebells. Do you think I should go up to 55lbs next and then 75lbs or jump right to 75lbs?
Buy an adjustable bell then you'll have up to 70lb!
I know I'm late but I went single 35 then got a single 50 then got a second 35 then a second 50...try to use doubles.
50 is fine or then get another 35 lbs and do doubles as 2x35 is 70.
Yes that's perfect !
I’m 60, retired 2 months ago, moved to Nicaragua, and got back into the gym after 3 years in the US, being chained to my house and laptop, working during covid. The only thing I was doing was walking and 100 push-ups a day.
I have been hitting the gym 3 times a week and feel surprisingly good. I walk 30 minutes there dow the mountain and about 45 minutes home up the mountain to go to the gym. I am working out about 45 minutes just trying to get in reasonable shape again, so it is a 2 hour trek, in total.
I am thinking about adding in a kettlebell workout for core and cardio. I want to start light and get good at it, to avoid injury of any kind…then get heavier after a while. Would you suggest like a 35 pounder….and maybe 100 swings ? Thx !
22 to 16kg or 35 is a good starting point I would suggest looking into my kettlebell fundamentals program at KBMuscle.com
I'm a hard gainer and used to be strictly a barbell/dumbell kind of guy.
Out of necessity I got a pair of 24kg kettlebells. I gained more mass with those kettlebells and bodyweight exercises than I ever had before.
+Henry Smith I've seen it happen. A lot. What was the necessity? Space?
Yeah, space......apartment living. I also work long hours and you can do a lot of damage in a short period of time with them.
Thanks for the vids!
+Henry Smith gotcha.,that's what I figured. That's great to hear
Hmm never tried 50. I found benefits with just 16kg 3 sets of 20.
And it really takes no time. For the heart, this seems better.
they are both good! change it up and do many types of energy systems
52 &1/2 years old and I remember my grandfather using kettle bells when I was a toddler he cane from Scotland 🏴 I tinkered with them back then but got away from then when I got to my early teens and went with the western barbell system, fast forward to just 6 months ago and I’ve got back into kettle bells and love it it’s fun and does so much within a short time span of effort spent definitely a big win and with a lifetime of contact sports injuries it helps me to work my entire body with one or two simple basic moves well worth the effort and the raw strength I’m getting is a big help with my current job endeavors also it helps tremendously with the sex life trust dare I go TMI lol .
Hahah awesome.,
Kettlebell schwing!
SCCHWIIIING!
LOVE the KB. Worked my way up to doing suitcase dls with 2×32k, 6reps. I'm 50kg and 51. No setting up when I can't lift the trap bar out of its holder 🤣
Nice Sue!
30lb for 1min x 3 twice a week as part of HIIT did wonders for my deadlift. Great exercise
+J Hart yes! Good to hear. So many ways to utilize it.
That's the fastest cycle time I've ever seen... lol
in 2015 I did one year of daily swings to see how many swings I could accumulate. It was amazing what changes I had in grip strength and how much easier snatches were. Maybe I'll grab another daily planner and start tracking heavy swings for 2017.
heck yeah man. speed it up lol! all different ways to play right?
This showed up in my recommendations again... I remember when this was first published. Guess what I'm doing everyday next year? Thank you!
I may join ya again now that my snatch competitions are done for a while
@@kettlebellmusclegain this could be a good community challenge! Do you have a FB group?
You just have to search for it It's 50 kettlebell swing
Great tip, thanks!
+Jon Komatsu welcome
Great video. Great advice.
Thank you
I will give this a try. I just started using kettlebells, and one of the questions I have is how many times a week the exercises should be done. I am assuming that the more isolated the exercise is, the more rest time one should give their muscles; and the combo exercises (using multiple muscles) can be done more often. If anyone has more specific info about the various exercises, I would appreciate any advice.
Great questions, can anyone answer? I would be interested in doing kettlebell swings everyday but wouldn't that lead to muscle fatigue since you use the same muscles? Would you be able to do other weightlifting exercises for chest legs shoulders?
@@mikethompson6098 Read Simple & Sinister - the philosophy -- "if you don't have hard days, you don't need easy days" - make every day the same effort, below your max, and keep it more consistent, and since it's a full body workout, you don't need the "easy days"
Unfortunately thats not how real life works at least for me. Hahahah. I prefer having very hard days that make my normal days easier in comparison.
You could follow a professional program suchbas those at www.kbmuscle.com
Joe...I know you did this video and that challenge many years ago, but I'd like to ask a question if you care to answer. Someone asked you if you did the 50 swings on rest days which was an obvious *Yes* if you said you were doing them everyday. But my question is when you do them on a rest day and there is only just the 50 swings or 90 secs of work.....do you warm up or do you just go straight into it?. I'm thinking that if you can 50 reps anything...the warm up is built in.....would I be correct?
Love all your content btw. You were very helpful in your review of the KK adjustable kbell. I went and bought one and it should arrive soon.
hello personallyi just jump in. considering i dont have any tension or strain injuries from mountain biking at the time lol
Thank you for this man
more truth bombs from the guru. i too have done the 10k kb swings many times. kind of like this addition to everything else i do. going to start with 40kg. thanks.
Nice I think you'll like this a lot.
I've just started training with kettle bells, i joined a gym and started doing strong lifts 5x5 but i can never get on the squat racks consistently because the Personal trainers are always using them with soccer moms. The gym has lots of kettle bells i think up to 30 maybe and no one ever uses them so I'm going to focus on them. Im not looking to build insane muscle but loose a bit of fat, gain strength and conditioning and improve mobility to make day to day life easier. Ill be watching all your videos man looking forward to it.
+Kingpins Barbershop sounds good. Start with our basic stuff.
+Kingpins Barbershop we also have a 4 week beginner program that is only $50 a good place to start
That's crazy heavy, it will take me a while to get there. I am swinging 20kg right now 3X10 sets but I will definitely try what you are doing. Thanx for sharing.
+Dino P great work . yes that's what I used to do when I started! Keep progressing and soon you'll be able to do a set of 40 to 50 with the 20kg.
all I have is a 35lb KB, due to Covid. Ido 50 swings 3-4 times a day along with cleans,snatches and presses.
I love 16kg KBs.
One arm swings with the 35 is the same work for your arms and grip as 70lbs is for both at once. Keep rockin
Dude all I have is a 20lb kettlebell and it sucks because they are sold out everywhere right now. It’s been great for shoulder presses but I feel like it’s kinda useless for swings. I’m still doing them anyway.
Thank you, I will something like it. Down the scale, but something like it.
Just did a video on kettlebells for arm development. They're actually great to build mass
yeah buddy! they are. people just need an open mind and to learn
yes they are!
new subscriber Alert! I'm going to sign up for a kettlebell class now. Thanks for creating this channel. Question? what type of shoes are those you're wearing in the video? I want to purchase them. badass!
+J P clol and youre welcome. These are vibrant 5 fingers.
This definitely sounds like me. I was just thinking yesterday. I’ve got to get back to the swing. It’s all I used to do. It really is the best exercise ever. In my opinion.
I have been working with a 60 pound KB for two years now. I can swing, DL to high pull, and goblet squat easily (sets of 10 often tri-setting those movements). I want to move up to a 90 pounder (thinking sets of 5 of those movements I mentioned).
Thoughts and/or suggestions?....
sounds great. what are your major goals ???
My goals are just general strength, keep my hips loose, and stay strong/explosive for grappling.
Lower back pain follows KB workouts, sometimes real pain and other times just tightness
+Barry Irlandi are you making sure abs are tense? Especially during backswing like you're going to get sucker punched at all times?
I'll work on it....
You might be letting your back/spine bend. Remember, it always stays straight, one leans over but never bends.
I'm in for this. ♥️
i watched this video a few weeks ago and bought my first kettlebell. im not strong in my upper body as my past focus has been on cycling and time trials and more recently running - from 10k to ultra marathons (only started running in jan 2017). Anyway, to be on the sfe side i got a 24kg and a 16kg.
so i try swinging the 24kg but couldnt manage more than 15 reps - so went for a run to loosen up and came back to try out the 16kg bell. bad idea. i was already warm from the run, so as i was doing reps, my hands started to sweat. as i continued i started to tire and around 43 swings in i lost grip, the weight continued forward in to my stereo and sent it flying whilst smashing the glass stand it was on and leaving a nice dent in my wall.
guess i will continue doing these outside in future
bikeanddogtrips man I lolled at this comment. Sorry for your misfortune man! Hope everything is sorted a few months down the line!
