Bought this for my youngest to develop basic form for single hand kettlebell work. ruclips.net/user/postUgkxtaDAl93XF8wxJhssTtjIFjzid82wglva It has a nice grip on it, just a little rough so it isn't slippery. I was doing a few rotator cuff exercises to test and worked well for those movements I'd been doing with a regular dumbbell. Cool thing you can do is hold it in your hand for door-knob turns to work the forearm and grip. Note: it's small, almost all handle, but that's what I expected given the weight. Smallest I've worked with before is 15lbs, so it was kind of funny to see the difference 10lbs makes.
Yes but it's better to go high as it stretches other muscles too that you may have never used before or in a very long time. I do them from squat position to level with my spine. Hope this helps 👍
@@DMG1777 Yes. I saw a video of a bunch of girls swinging above their heads. One girl lost her balance and the bell nearly fell on her. The so-called American KB swing is a disaster. There are many 'above-your-head' KB moves that are perfectly safe: Snatch, clean and press, clean and jerk, Turkish getup, etc. There is no need for the American swing and all its dangers.
The start is problematic. The bell should be about 18 inches in front of the feet. You bend down (hip hinge ang flat back)) to grab the handle, and 'hike' the bell back between the legs. Then the hips pop forward to propel the bell forward and to the proper height. She is starting with the bell in the dead lift position and starting the swing with her back and shoulders.
This is not a proper kettle bell swing. The power is supposed to come from the hip extension that pushes the bell out, she is using her shoulders and arms to lift the bell. Her arms are moving forward before her hip is extended
FFS what's with all the Eastern European and Russian prefix to all these exercises these days???? Back in my day a kettlebell swing was called a "kettlebell swing" now it's suddenly become "Russian" a split-squat was called... wait for it...a split squat! Now it's a Bulgarian split squat ha ha ha. Deadlifts were called.... yea, ya get the picture. Good tuition video though :-)
I know that but the exercise is nothing to do with the equipment.Split squats, deadlifts etc are not "originally" from Eastern European countries they just seem to have been given this prefix just to make them sound more "hard-core" ha ha, funny.
@@robertlebeda7589 I see your point. I find it ridiculous as well. As I've recently learned, there's a variation called American kettlebell swing where you swing over your head. so using the prefix Russian is more precise to distinguish both variations.
As the above comment already stated, it’s to differentiate exercises. Also, it gives mention and merit to the country where that exercise was popularized. Also it helps give warning, for example, if I hear that an exercise starts with “American ________” I stay away from it.
Sorry,but the starting position Is wrong..the KB has to be a certain distance from the toes as to create a triangle ..so the back won't soffer during the First moviment..even the arms go too high and too far,I'm Sorry.

Im in love with her
Creeps.
Down bad
Down infinitely bad
Keep your feelings to yourself bro 😂 No one wants to know that you touched yourself to this video
Isn't the Russian specifically done without raising it too high?
Yes but it's better to go high as it stretches other muscles too that you may have never used before or in a very long time. I do them from squat position to level with my spine. Hope this helps 👍
@@davidcarter7337 keep it at the chest level. or else you ll damage your shoulder socket in the long run
@@audaxxi1537 thanks will do 👍 I was told different but thanks again!
@@davidcarter7337if you raise it that high, it's no longer a Russian Kettlebell swing. It's an American Kettlebell swing.

Think her name is Nicole Zapoli. Wish she demonstrated all the movements.
Tri-Shake-Atops really? You don’t wish she was your girl? You just wish you could watch someone else do her? That’s weird.

What would a Russian Kettlebell Champion have to say about this? I'm pretty sure he/she would say that that is not a Russian Kettlebell Swing.
Yes. This is American hardstyle.
WOW... look at her 👀
nice but is not the russian. The arms are in a wrong extension
There was a kettlebell in this video?
This is not a proper kettle bell swing. The power is supposed to come from the hip extension that pushes the bell out, she is using her shoulders and arms to lift the bell.
Her arms are moving forward before her hip is extended
ITS NOT THE CORRECT WAY. raising it above the chest level damages your shoulder socket

Danofstockport because kettlebell IS originaly from Russia

A Romanian Deadlift and a deadlift are different exercises, I’m with ya on the first two though.

Too high on the upswing. Losing tension
