My kettlebell
My kettlebell is my friend!! I dusted her off a few weeks ago and got started again. I am focusing on my swing technique and really trying to get it right. I feel I have good hip snap and am really working on increasing my sets slowly. I still prefer swinging with one hand over swinging with two. I like alternating 5 and 5 then doing like 2 or 3 two handed swings and back to 5 and 5 alternating. It is working for me right now, so I'll stick to it till I can get stronger. I feel it is more of a pull in my low back by doing the two handed swing and that maybe I am doing something wrong because I know that two handed should be easier than one handed. I have been messing with adjusting the speed with which I go back down into the hike portion of the swing and that is helping somewhat. I also feel that if I hinge forward just a slight bit more on the down swing that it relieves most of the tension in my low back. I'll be playing with things here and there till I get it dialed in. Anyway, I am happy to be playing with my bell again, it feels great.
