Athlean X' Kettlebell Swing Is HORRIBLE

[@eli3568]

It doesn't matter how many videos I watch, I still can't tell if I'm doing it right.

[@ayoung1]

I agree. This guy says that the last guy I watched demonstrate the perfect swing, was totally wrong. How could such a simple move be so incredibly difficult to perform correctly?

I teach kettlebells at a big gym. From my observation, 90% of personal trainers perform the KB swing wrong.

[@cameronmiller6240]

Personal trainers are generally terrible in my experience (I’m not saying they all are)

[@lebe-stark]

The BIG issue with personal trainers nowadays, is that they are jack of all trades and masters of none - and they're encouraged to use everything at their disposal to train their clients. While I do think this comes from good intentions (train the client with whatever you have), it can also lead to trainers teaching stuff they don't know a lot about. - Gregory

As a beginner kettlebell user, this is your best explanation of how to use it. You slowed way down without the bell and showed the exact movements at the proper point and time. Excellent job.

[@lebe-stark]

Glad it was helpful!

[@Jmnp08]

There is actually nothing wrong with his style. He is stopping short of shoulder height to avoid shoulder impingement. I have my patients and clients perform this variation if they have an acromion that creates potential for impingement. Also utilizing this abbreviated motion you can maintain tight core engagement and lat activation among other things. I personally use both of these styles depending on my particular focus that day.

[@mark_luna]

Tons of “how to” videos out there for beginners. This one on how to do it right based on flaws explains the how to perfectly. Thank you for this.

when we swing, we think heavy... When we think heawy we swing heavy.... With 80kg bw I swing 92kg kettlebell... Really well explained and unfortunately many instructors are good with other tools but no idea how to use kettlebells.... The real problems when we are teaching we are responsible for the people who following our work.... Great video!

[@bobdole7292]

Kettlebell swings are like any skill. The more you do it the more refined, smooth, efficient it is. People who don’t swing a lot generally have ugly swings.

[@lebe-stark]

Exactly! - Gregory

[@genacampos5464]

I've been teaching kettlebell a long time... hardstyle, juggling, long cycle technique, etc and I don't think it's horrible. I think his extension is pulling up short, yeah - prob bc he's trying to make it quick in line w some ballistic Extraness that he is the epitome of - who knows. And it's not really delving into any ROM to speak of but idk maybe he's too tight af and wiry and that IS his ROM, i don't watch his stuff. His c spine is kinda wonky for me but to do a whole video about what is otherwise stylistic variations of a basic hip hinge is a little much. I think us kb professionals, and fitness pros in general, just kinda over critique the crap out of each other like what we do is rocket science. I've gotten to swing w some awesome kettlebell athletes and I've got to say the variation among swings can be interesting among people who do this every day, people who teach others to do this. And the funny thing is that we're all right. I can pick apart somebody's snatch from the ground up but the reality is that it's only because they're not doing it the exact way I do it from timing to wrist location to fingers etc, I like the way I do it, I do it the way I learned it. So then I ask well honestly who tf am I and what would make their style wrong? We both got it up using solid tried and true technique, we both remain uninjured, odds are we've both read Strength Training Anatomy and understand how things work, lol. It's only stylistic differences and preferences at a certain point. Without proof its all conjecture and without evidence its all hypothetical. Same thing with Bulgarian Bag. People's 360s look different in myriads of ways. Their lambs and throws. But we're all people qualified to teach also, so.... I don't think on any planet is this sooooo crazy but it's also not the prettiest one I've ever watched.

[@Thegoldenchild415]

I squat in my swings. My body fat percentage has dropped, I feel much stronger and I can see the difference . I'm not sure if there is a right or a wrong way. Id go as far as to say that I think that different variations do different things.

[@OffDoodyDad78]

Awesome breakdown! Man, I'm so glad I picked up a kettlebell. I was in MMA for many years and this feels like learning martial arts, it's humbling, it's an art, you need to take your time and build from a solid foundation, and I can see with enough consistency over time it pays off and something that can be done even into old age :) good stuff thanks for a great video!

You are so welcome!

[@debunkthelies]

Great content and good instructions on the swing - KBs are a relatively new addition to my repertoire and so far I love implementing them. They are most unique and the carryover is outstanding. I enjoy the learning curve whilst every nuance of movement patterns build upon newly acquired precepts. The intent to harness increased levels of conscious proprioception or position awareness is paramount especially while swinging loaded objects.

[@countryroadstakemehome]

His kettlebell swing has more muscle involvement hence his build looks twice as good as yours. He is controlling that weight. Your version the weight is controlling you.

[@lebe-stark]

Thanks for sharing! His muscles have nothing to do with his lack of skill. The kettlebell swing is an exercise, that requires momentum. - Gregory

[@NEPAFIX]

What bothered me the most was how he put the KB down 🤦‍♂️ but I do love that kick through plank he does after. Really helps my hips and t-spine

[@BadLuckGino]

Whenever I do kettlebell swings, I like to imagine myself as being one of those toy birds that "drink" out of a cup of water; I keep my head/spine in a neutral position as I hinge/swing the kettlebell.

[@lebe-stark]

Love that!

[@bigby8023]

I really like your hinge in this video. Took me way too long to learn that movement properly and realize what my mistake was. I'm just curious on why you're going deeper here (with both hands your back is nearly parallel to the floor) then you do in other videos (when doing H2H swings, snatches etc you're not that deep). Is this unintentionally or are you doing it on purpose because you're using your dominant leg to aid the movement? And - if so - wouldn't the glute activation be a higher goal than to make the movement easier?

[@lebe-stark]

Good spot, friend! When mastering ballistics, there's an expression called "amplitude". This is relationship between leaning forward with your uppder body and hinging at the hip. This becomes preference with different variations.

[@Gus-Moose]

Any thought on the arms, straight or bent? I prefer straight but I saw yours are bent. Could you elaborate on pros/cons on the two different ways, please?

[@lebe-stark]

I keep the arms in a natural position; slightly bent. This way, I can still keep the kettlebell closer to my center of mass to a certain extent. With a double handed, heavy kettlebell swing, your lats have to do some work and they are attached to your upper arm. So forearm extension can be preference in the end. - Gregory

[@CalTN]

My technique has changed to be more bent arm at the top of the swing. I think as we become more comfortable with the glute contraction, hip drive and hinge the arm can relax at the top. It really is about becoming more familiar with how your body performs best with the 2H swing kettlebell arc. Like Gregory says, I prefer to keep the bell closer to center of mass because I want my posterior chain and glutes to do the majority of work. Not the arms.

[@lebe-stark]

@@CalTN Great point about becoming more comfortable with the kettlebell! That's exactly what happens when skill becomes deeply ingrained and movements become automatic. - Gregory

[@Gus-Moose]

@@CalTN Interesting, I feel I can relax my arms better by keeping them straight, by bending my arms I feel like I'm fighting the weight.

[@Gus-Moose]

@@CalTN I might be completely wrong on this but, keeping the arms straight makes the radius larger which force you to hinge more powerfully. Shouldn't this give you a better training-effect (or a similar effect with a lighter bell) and be beneficial?

[@bcjohnd101]

Have to say, experienced as I am, I've never really felt confident doing KB Swings. On a great AthleanX program atm til I got to these. The demo technique didn't feel right til this video! Common sense, safe execution, effective workout. 👏👏

[@sinhavinit]

As soon as I saw Jeff’s video, I knew you must have started working on this video:). Rightly said, Jeff is a pioneer and millions have benefited from his knowledge. But kettlebell is a skill that takes time to develop.

[@frankquinn6872]

A very fair critique in my opinion. Jeff looks like he’s fighting the bell a lot of the time and, ironically, the only “snap” he has is in his upper body and not his hips. He seems to suffer from that stiffness in the hip area that I have found with a lot of field sports athletes - rugby players in particular. Love the phrase “kinaesthetic literacy “ - will be borrowing / stealing that one Gregory!😉

[@danwood2277]

Great tips. Not sure a heavy weight would highlight flaws, though. Alot of beginners watching this who may benefit from using a low weight kettlebell to perfect proper form first rather than jumping straight into heavier weight and injuring themselves.

[@lebe-stark]

Heavyweights demand structural integrity and proper technique, making them ideal for advanced lifters who have moved beyond the beginner stages.

[@Voidrunner01]

Really though, even your 2016 swings looked better than Athlean-X. It's almost like he's not even hinging at all. Like a half-assed squat and then a hoist with the arms.

[@xyzsedr8891]

I like your style to explain things a lot!

I honestly don't feel like I understand kettlebells. I started training a couple of months ago and have tried a few exercises with a personal trainer. Among them the two-handed swing like in this video. My lower back starts to hurt after 10-12 swings, and I can't tell which muscles it is supposed to target. I also can't tell if it is a cardio workout, a strength workout, a balance exercise or I am trying to dance. It just feels uncomfortable to me. I am also not a fan of swinging heavy weights straight at my crotch. I will keep practicing a bit, but I don't know. Because of the nature of the exercise it all goes so fast that it is very difficult to notice if you have good form. I feel like I am just flailing wildly while endangering every mirror in the gym if I were to lose grip on the kettlebells. It also doesn't help that every single influencer on YT have differing opinions on what actually is the correct form. Everyone is making their own guides and the comments always have people saying how wrong this is.

@@lebe-stark may also have smth to do with body mass&balance as well ?! for context i'm roughly between 95kg(winter more free time) and 105kg(summer less free time) and I started out with a 28kg bell and my technique was rather similar to Jeffs(bell was slapping the arse more often then not) then stumbled onto your channel and at one point saw Angie swing it with those massive quads popping out and looking like they were doing most of the work and so I tryd to copy her technique and then it 'suddenly clicked' i'm currently using a 32kg bell with ease swinging it about eye ball high and most of the burn I fell is in the quads then glutes and to a much lesser extent in the lats feels like theyr going on a lite stroll. I was doing 2 full body building workouts per week before this for a couple of years so I was fairly strong to begin with... For me there have been several positive effects of picking up kettlebell swings: 1)muscles are less sore overall(as I now end my workouts with 2 sets of swings and do 2-3 more sets on the off days) 2)no more discomfort or suspect stiffness in my hips, knees or elbows&writs(the first 2 i can get why, tho the elbow&wrist benefit is rather unexpected) 3)Oddly my balance also improved a lot, for this i got two anecdotal proofs: Since its winter now and started skating again and so was in a fair bit of a shock when I saw how less likely i was to faceplant or land on my ass as opposed to previous years...its not like i've suddenly gained faster reflexes or smth but i seem to be able to slip less and somehow stop myself mid slip when it happens most of the times. I also do some judo and to the surprise of most guys I spar with theyr more often then not failing to pull me of balance and throw me as easily as they could before so most of them are simply asking me if have gained more weight again(actually lost almost 4kg so far this winter) I also got a 40kg bell i'm not that comfortable swinging yet(mostly i believe due to it having a smooth slippery crommed handle unlike my(32 kg one) and it being much 'taller') got it from a different manufacturer because no other one was making 40kg bells, sadly this odd bell(imgur.com/rq0t0of.png

I guess it depends on what you're doing aswell though right? If you're just doing a few sets to build strength then yeah a heavier weight will be more beneficial.

It seems like the game of this motion is momentum when in traditional weight lifting using momentum is discouraged unlike in any comabtive sport where momentum IS extremely encouraged. I can see why Athlean X is having problems hes trying to man handle the weight in a swinging motion rather then actually swinging it. 😂

1:57 so the reasons why athleanx KB Swing is horrible are he is not extending the hip and there's too much tension (therefore the upper body is too tight and the KB is flapping back and forth)? Watch the video again, he's extending the hip and extending the knees, your demo of him is what you called not extending. You want the upper body to be tight, the tighter it is the more stability you provide for the hip Extensors to do their job. And no, the KB isn't flapping back and forth (2:21), that's the opposite of "a little bit exaggerating". 5:20 BTW, who do clean by leaning back and resting your arms on your stomach?

Jeff is great, he helped me get to where I am today. I hate seeing these guys crapping on Jeff. Just do your own thing man and stop trying to gain clout from calling out the big guys 🙌🏼

@@lebe-stark Doesn't mean we should add to it but I see what you're trying to do man. Each to their own 🙌🏼

@@jacalisthenics Jeff has millions of followers. I'm one of them, and he's usually so spot on that it's likely that many will naturally think his KB swings are also spot on. If anyone deserves some critiquing on KB swings, it should be influencers like Jeff. And what's wrong with disagreeing anyway? As long as the disagreement is constructive and respectful, everyone wins. Good debate is essential to the progress of knowledge.
