do you have advice for someone with boney wrists? I don't hit the back of my wrists, but as I'm rotating the kettlebell at the top into the rack position it grazes the bone on the outside of my wrist where hand meets wrists.. on the very outer side right under where they meet. Kind of looks like a ball ,, that bone
Big wide kettlebells? I have two bells and one is a real old school classic and the hand hole isn't square. It is harder to clean. The actual bell is solid and quite small so it also has more distance to travel before coming to rest and tends to clank even when I clean correctly ( as best as I can to date shall we say ). It also exerts more pressure once it is racked because it is more curved and dense. The kettlebell design really matters once you are cleaning and snatching and I guess also once you move up in weight.
I still get confused by hard vs sport style. The movement of the bell around the body vs moving the body around the bell has me messed up. Here seems to be more of the sport style.
2 years late but still useful hopefully 😁What is demonstrated here is hard style as far as I know - sports style would be more bending of the knees to get the quads to assist in the push up as well, this would be used more in competition because more of the body is involved and endurance can be increased etc. In my experience "movement of the bell around the body" are a bunch of different things: for example notice here how the KB moves around the wrist on the way down and on the way up - this is much more efficient, and saves the forearms from "banging" the weight onto them! Another example is the engagement of the lats to keep the bell closer to the body and so on . . . Mike Salemi is amazing, I have watched a LOT of videos and have been working with KBs for years, this is some of the best you will ever see !
@@dmoro67 We have the same first name, and we've been living parallel lives ! LOL Exact same for me - glad to hear that you also stuck with it ! All the best . . .

Can you clean the same weight that you swing?

I have big wide palms which make it difficult to push my hand thru for the rack

@@davidf4163 Thanks. I have learned a lot since my post as well. Mark Wildman has been a huge help as we all as kettlebell kings. Cheers.

Can you perform a kettlebell clean without the swing?
Can you clarify what you are looking for? Just a video of a clean? We have a bunch we can get you!
The video you have up shows a kettlebell swing into the rack position. Do You have any videos for a clean without the swing?
