Jeremy O. Kettlebell Swing:
Laura, Eli and Warren let fly!
This WOD is deceiving. Lots of cardio and plenty of hip extension. The key to the kettlebell swing is ensuring you use your hips more than using your arms. Think “mini” air squat to propel the bell up and lock out the arms and bell at the top before either pushing it down or letting gravity take it’s course. Make sure to grip the kettlebell tight and not to hyperextend too far when locking out overhead. Work towards obscuring the ears at the top but only when feeling more comfortable with the swing. For the sumo DL high pull it’s no different than using the barbell. Wide stance, pull hard and forcefully open the hips to continue the KB’s path up under the chin before returning to the ground.
