Double Kettlebell Training : Tips for Double Kettlebell Swings and Cleans

[@chrisg4726]

I always come back to your channel for reminders and tweaks. Been using these suckers for 8 years and still work the fundamentals. Thanks for the double swing tips!

[@kettlebellmusclegain]

happy to hear that!

[@Gabby_02]

This is really good tutorial. It's also making me think again about the grip. I was doing them with thumbs forward with 2x 24kg , but after first 3-4 workouts, felt increasing strain in my left elbow tendon that almost turned into tennis elbow. So I switched to a thumbs leading backwards at 45 degress on downswing to thumbs pointing inwards on upswing. Thus I could swing with narrower stance and avoid the ekbow joint hyperextension risk that comes with thumbs forward at the end of downswing when elbow locks abruptly with the weight coming back and behind my knees

🙏 you're the king man! I stopped doing double kettlebell stuff because of some of these issues but going to give it another shot now 🤙

[@kettlebellmusclegain]

Good to hear. Hope it helps.

You get a thumbs up for the thumbs up grip

[@kettlebellmusclegain]

Hah. Thanks.

I love “Suitcase Swings” and aim to keep my feet as close as possible - perhaps 4 inches apart, and ensuring that my knees stay straight. Admittedly I’m swinging double 8kg at the moment, but as an exercise to keep the core working with a good hip snap, in my opinion it’s one of the best. Of course not the same as double 24kgs nevertheless a good variation on swings.

[@petersands4449]

This was perfect. Answered a bunch of question that I had. Cheers!

[@harvestblades]

You are a bad ass if you are swinging double 48s & bigger. I look forward to having that problem. I am subbed, & glad I watched this as I wasn't packing the shoulder on the outside swings. I remember first seeing Mike Mahler do these, & I like it better then feeling I am in a sumo stance.

[@dr_spacepirate]

Thanks for this informative video. i am very grateful that you are doing all this for free. In fact i have adopted using double kB outside swings over the classical Kettlebell swings (inside). I can feel lot more lats and weirdly, this feels much more natural. maybe that is just me. !

Great information as always.

[@kettlebellmusclegain]

Thank you.

[@gilbertgurney4898]

Lately I have find I like side swings for heavy swing and snatch. Like faterpillar. Feels more natural to me for some reason.

[@kettlebellmusclegain]

Theyre good too. Just not for comp

[@chrisdenning8905]

Great video Joe - with bigger legs (& I'm average height) it's something I've been struggling with during long cycle.. needing to keep the feet slightly wider during the clean so the bells don't clang together and bounce off the inside of my knees, but then it's harder to jerk

[@kettlebellmusclegain]

You can reposition.

Coach, what are your thoughts on Mark Wildman’s suggestion that with grip on all KB swings the thumb should point back, so arms are internally rotated?

[@kettlebellmusclegain]

I dont like it at all. Unless for single arm where up body can be rotated too. Most people have too much internal rotation allbday then add exercises to it? Watch the best in KB sport. Its pretty rare to see double internal rotation

[@kettlebellmusclegain]

I also made a vid on that a few months ago.

[@michaelsenft3608]

Makes total sense - thank you Boss! Stay strong, stay safe. Merry Christmas Joe. 2021 will be a banner year for you

[@a_fuckin_spacemarine7514]

I've noticed the thumb forward grip is much easier on my forearms and tendons. Is that normal? Also, what should I do whilst experiencing forearm and wrist pains?? I've just been avoiding exercises that tweak me up, and I've cut back on the volume, cause I think maybe I was doing too much work per session.

[@riyankusumo8231]

Which and Hows different muscle effected between double kettlebell swing and double kettlebell swing OUTSIDE legs?

[@kettlebellmusclegain]

hips and traps mostly. gives you different power production depending on wide or narrow stance

[@WILSONDAYRIT-x8q]

Wow... how many times in a week should i do a double kettlebell?

[@kettlebellmusclegain]

I usually train 3x a week with a day or two off in-between.

[@mattdempsey8173]

Great vid. With two kettlebells do you usually swing between the legs or outside the legs?

[@kettlebellmusclegain]

personally both

[@kettlebellrebellion3655]

Awesome!!! Does having a thumbs forward grip help with the issue of bells banging near the knees? I generally use a thumbs back grip for hardstyle training with iron bells, would you recommend switching to a thumbs forward grip for sport if they are pretty consistently banging at the knees? I am thinking the rotation is what is causing it to happen...

[@kettlebellmusclegain]

In short, yes

Is that an Adex mace?

Yes its the Arc. My favorite. adexclub.com/all-shop/?ap_id=swingthiskb

[@DefGoat]

Out side swings don't hit my glutes and overall don't "fly" right for me.

[@kettlebellmusclegain]

Well there ya go. I find it easy to feel. But were all different

[@harvestblades]

So flaring the lats is the same as packing the shoulder (scapular retraction)? Also you mention lifting with the spinal erectors (low back) when we are tight. I am really tight in my low back, and I think this is what I am doing as I feel it in my low back muscles after a lot of swings. I don't have access to coaching so how can I train, or stretch to correct this?

[@Tuwanina19]

Can you do outside leg double cleans?

[@kettlebellmusclegain]

Absolutely. Just watch your fingers. Ive made avideo on it before in my playlist "close stance alternatives"

I avoid doing double cleans in the morning so my 7mo baby can sleep. Should I rubber coat them? :lol: Thanks for the great content Joe!

[@kettlebellmusclegain]

that or very dense foam. also be mindful if they are going to hit. and try to NOT let them

Go outside and train 😄
