Do HEAVY Kettlebell Swings For INSANE Explosiveness

The kettlebell swing is an amazing exercise, unfortunately it's usually viewed primarily as a conditioning tool, where light swings are done for high reps. BUT when you actually load it up heavy the swing becomes an almost unparalleled builder of hip extension power, explosiveness, and posterior chain resilience.

The hamstrings are forced into a massive and rapid stretch, they must seamlessly absorb the entirety of this enormous force, and then reverse it and spit it back out in kind without missing a beat. Heavy swings build power and explosiveness in the hip extensors, they improve force absorption capability, they cultivate the stretch reflex in the hamstrings, and they build an overall solid and resilient posterior chain.

So try loading 'em up! Make sure you execute a clean hinge, get a big hammie stretch at the bottom, crisp and sharp hip extension, and achieve adequate pulling height. With these pieces in place you can load up your swings and build MONSTROUS levels of power! Happy swinging!

Everybody baller till the plates smack your kneecaps in

[nappasavestheworld]

Really been loving these. I've been moving to a mostly kettlebell driven program, and doing a few balls out swing sets per week allow me to overload the muscles I need for cleans and snatches. Tbar ftw.

What's the name and make of the t-handle you're using?

[bobbybush]

I've worked with kettlebells for a few years now and have never seen a T-bar. What other exercises can you do with a T-bar?

[dylankassel]

Yo what is that equipment called I want one!!??

[mfa-FH]

Shorter handle? Shud think of that for my DIY T handle

[Housemusic]

What kind of equipment do you use for this?

[nitres]

How do you avoid smashing ya junk with your forearm?

[bjiffy]

I love kettlebell swings. I use it as a primer before my deadlift/squats.

Day 1 of asking alec to make a video on programming for the "Megatotal" (strongman, powerlifting AND olifting)

[WilliamsWrestlin]

Turned your DIY tib bar into a TBar handle. Prop for the project btw. Its the simplest design that does the work

[lecobra]

Just made myself a diy loadable kb, I feel like I won the lottery, being able to ramp up till 100kg with insane modularity, for no extra cash, is insane! Can wait till my next leg day to try it out!

[penumbrium]

i feel like these have to have some hypertrophy benefit for the hams and traps. the eccentric is immense

[andresruval]

Used to avoid swings when I first started, now I feel robbed because I don’t have the equipment to do heavy swings, Ill go the DIY route

[chaosdisciple]

I'm so glad you introduced me to these.

[tjhernandez]

Anyone know where I can get that T Bar?

[tacticaltradingpennystocks]

I do both lighter swings for conditioning and heavy for strength. I have noticed a massive increase in strength since implementing this program

[perfectshedinja]

I can't do any deadlifts since I have a home gym in my apartment. I do Goodmornings as my hip hinge. Do you think kettlebell swings would be a good accessory hinge moment for posterior development? I do front squats and split squats for my quads for context.

[TheXxAlexX]

Hey alec how do you feel about these for hypertrophy?

[jayden__savage]

I want to do kettle bell swings so bad but, how do I ensure I’m even doing them right, I don’t want to tweak my back
