How to do a Russian Kettlebell Swing by Wodstar

Isn't the Russian specifically done without raising it too high?

What would a Russian Kettlebell Champion have to say about this? I'm pretty sure he/she would say that that is not a Russian Kettlebell Swing.

nice but is not the russian. The arms are in a wrong extension

The start is problematic. The bell should be about 18 inches in front of the feet. You bend down (hip hinge ang flat back)) to grab the handle, and 'hike' the bell back between the legs. Then the hips pop forward to propel the bell forward and to the proper height.

She is starting with the bell in the dead lift position and starting the swing with her back and shoulders.

This is not a proper kettle bell swing. The power is supposed to come from the hip extension that pushes the bell out, she is using her shoulders and arms to lift the bell.

Her arms are moving forward before her hip is extended

ITS NOT THE CORRECT WAY. raising it above the chest level damages your shoulder socket

Sorry, but the starting position Is wrong..the KB has to be a certain distance from the toes as to create a triangle ..so the back won't soffer during the First moviment..even the arms go too high and too far, I'm Sorry.

FFS what's with all the Eastern European and Russian prefix to all these exercises these days???? Back in my day a kettlebell swing was called a "kettlebell swing" now it's suddenly become "Russian" a split-squat was called... wait for it...a split squat! Now it's a Bulgarian split squat ha ha ha. Deadlifts were called.... yea, ya get the picture. Good tuition video though :-)
