Kettlebell Banded Swing
The kettlebell swing with a band looped under the feet and around the bell, so the pull grows as the bell rises and snaps it back down.
How to do it
Setup
Standing on a looped band, its other end around the kettlebell, the bell hiked back between the legs.
Steps
- Snap the hips hard enough to stretch the band to chest height.
- Let the band pull the bell back down fast.
- Hinge to meet it and swing again.
Common mistakes
Band sliding out from under the feet: stand on it with both feet flat. Arms fighting the band at the top: the hips do the work. Standing tall too long: the band's fast return must meet a ready hinge.
Breathing
Sharp exhale on the hip snap, inhale on the backswing.
