hook grip instead of death grip just changed my life. Thank you!

[zaelaporrou]

Yep. Was squatting, muscling and death gripping. Thanks man. Helped me a lot!

[EvanRo]

[ladyj]

[TheTattooedRonin]

Thanks for the tips! I just started a channel to document my fitness journey and this is deff helpful

[ericjensen]

Just subscribed. Best kettlebell class I've seen. Sir, you've found your calling.

[stardresser]

Yikes! I was death gripping, too wide, a little bit of muscling...super grateful for this. THANKS!!!

[nappyheadstepchild]

It was ride the wave for me. LOL Thanks for this video!

Obviously you were only willing to do the "too far" swing, unpacking your shoulders because you're super well-conditioned and know your body, but it was cringe-y to watch. Even if one doesn't end up injuring themselves, they're training their body/mind to make the shoulder vulnerable above the head, which could be really bad with presses, snatches, windmills, clean&jerk, etc.

Not trying to tell you, I know you know, just commenting while continuing to grease that awful "looking at phone" posture.

Great video!

Thanks this is an excellent problem solving video. I prefer the hard style swing and have a question re the arm position as you swing up to the top of your swing. Should arms be straight or should they as I think your showing be bent and closer to the body, and if so, whys that

[shaunr]

Great explanations Max, thank you. I started doing kettlebell swings a month ago and had to stop after injuring my lower back. Your video has really helped me figure out what I was doing wrong.

[joseafstone]

Great video Max and thank for sharing. I've been doing mine in the wrong shoes :) Question: for men over 40, what weight KB should we use? I have a 30lb KB that I usually swing for 30reps, 3-4 rounds as part of my full body routine.

[coreymartin]

I just do what Pavel says...comrade. Still always open to tips, postural visualizations, etc. The jump to find your stance seems interesting. I've been adjusting with the goblet squat to find my natural footing.

Maybe ease off the airhorn.

[LiuLiangWei]

I don't understand the difference between the Death grip and the Hook Grip. Can anyone clarify?

[afmcben]

I'm new. Really big fat guy. Been trying these for a few weeks. I'm guilty of 2 of these things that I'm having a very hard time fixing. Mainly the neutral spine. I just can't seem to keep a straight back. I need to fix my pre swing, which im getting better at. I'm just worried about back pain since I'm very"weight forward" with the fat on my body

Top ten subtitle mistakes: 3:23 "jizz all over body barely tapped into the leg and where the cattle really..."

[SlyShippy]

Great video. Question: at the top of your Russian swing it looks like your arms stop lower than I would expect, and the elbows bend from there a bit to complete the swing. Is this correct, or should your arms be straight and all together to the top of the swing? I would think that this could put strain on the elbows. I'm asking because I'm still learning.
