KB Swing

The KB Swing is a hinge movement - make sure you're comfortable with Deadlift/RDL form before progressing to this. Set up with the bell in an equilateral triangle with your toes. Hinge your hips back to approach the bell. Grab the handle and wrench your hands apart to create some tension in your lats. Bring the bell up and back to start, then drive your hips forward to float the weight up. Keep the bell high sending your hips back - the two landmark positions are a plank at the top and a hinge at the bottom of the movement. It may help to think "forward back". Breathe out as you drive forward and inhale as you draw the bell back. To finish the movement, bring the bell back and then send it down to the floor in front of you.
