thanks, great advise

Thank you so much for highlighting correct thumb placement in the hook grip - learnt something new and improved my form. Cheers

In my experience the thumb back pronation on a one arm swing really helps save the elbow and finger flexors from any tendenitis as the weight goes up, but this may depend on the individual. If you start to get tennis/golfer elbow doing heavy one arm swings try the pronation thumb back at the bottom

Which guy in the gym has the highest video game score (back of the video)?

His swinging arm with bell is not locked out?

[@xmapa4677]

It does not need to be. If there is anything to nit pick about, it's the knees. He only bends at the waist. MOST of the bend should be in the waist (this is not a squat, it is a hinge), but the knees should bend a little bit. Just like in a deadlift. You would not do a deadlift with straight legs. The Swing is a hybrid exercise. Half Deadlift, Half Silverback Swing.

Also, I see this in every swing video on KZbin, but if you draw a straight line between your shoudlers, it should be parallel with the floor. You can see that the swinging shoulder is lower than the free shoulder. Your body should be in a neutral position. the lats and Glutes are not engaging properly if your body is twisting. There is no excuse. I am only 5'6" 130lbs and I can keep my shoulders square swinging 71lbs. I believe the KB in the video is 35lbs (yellow band).

Son of The Morrígan but aren’t you supposed to be digging into your lats when you pack your shoulders? Especially with the swinging arm. The swing is a pull movement in principle of activating the lats. Or am I mistaken?
