Kettlebell Swings Russian or American

I farkin' hate the American swing. If you can swing it above your head then it's way too easy for the lower body.

Press overhead for upper body work, not swing.

great name.


not.


For starters, kettlebells are not designed to be used with two hands. No matter whether you own classic bells or competition style this is true. Kettlebells are designed to be used one handed. Of course you can use them with two hands for exercises like the goblet squat or the two-hand swing, and even for corrective work such as seen in the FMS system. But none of these exercises feature having both hands so close together and then raised overhead.

what a stupid thing to write.
It's about where the hands are spaced, it's about the angle of the arm in reltionship to the shoulder.

Kettle-bells are dumb, but i dont see the issue with the septic tank swing.
