How to do Kettlebell Swings

As mentioned in the previous post, kettlebell swing is such an important kettlebell exercise that you should get it right. Why? It will give your powerful hip drive that will have a profound impact on your kettlebell cleans and snatches. It is so common with most beginners that they want to do the snatches and ignore their swing techniques. Big mistakes! If your swing sucks, your snatch will not be that great.

Step 1: Set Up

Get behind the kettlebells about 1 to 2 foot length away. Lean over from your hip while maintaining a neutral spine posture and grip the handle of the kettlebell firmly with both hands. Tilt the kettlebell towards you to form an extension of your arms as seen in the picture above and feel a good stretch on your hamstring muscles when you sit back. At this point, you should get ready to contract your lats muscles to swing the kettlebell behind your hips without changing your posture. Be ready to breath in through your nose when you are swinging the kettlebells back.

Step 2: Hike Pass

Sniff or breath in while swinging the kettlebell back between your legs at the same time. Aim to get the upper arms to contact your ribs and forearms to contact your groin. At this point, your lats muscles are tight and hamstring are stretched.

Step 3: Hip Punch

With a braced core, snap your hips to the front using the “hip punch” to drive the kettlebell up to the shoulder level without using your arms. Be sure to get full hip extension where you hip is right under your shoulders. Your arms are quite relaxed although the grip is tight. Quick Tip: The hip should come forward before the arms start raising with the kettlebell.
