Probably the best kettlebell beginner video on KZbin. Thanks Marcus.

[@marcusfilly]

Glad you liked it!

[@Falk54]

A good tip I received from a kettelbell instructor and helped with the matter of the bell crushing into my forearm immediately was "punching" into the kettlebell handle actively while it comes to the upper position while cleaning it. This way your hand and the kettlebell reach the highest point at almost the same speed and the catching goes very smooth. Worked from the first repetition with most people in the course.

[@Ba1aamsdonkey]

This makes a lot of sense. You’re essentially not letting the weight of the bell leave on your arm. You’re instead meeting it.

[@BrocktonBombs]

That’s a good cue, even more so with the KB snatch. But the key to avoiding the forearm bang is to keep the bell moving vertically, Close to the body, aka “taming the arc”. Punch with an arc an you’ll still get banged.

[@petarpetrovic-ix3sb]
