Good tips man. One arm swings definitly work the lats and shoulders more with the same weight. Good way to get some more mileage out of a lighter weight as well.
Hey Coach, like the tip of punching the other arm. Because not knowing what to do with it, I may end up inadvertently having poor technique on the working arm paying attention to the one not in use/focus.
As long you use a KB that gives you the best performance you should be fine. The thing is making sure your 2H swing skills are solid first before progressing to the 1H Swing. If you would like to see more I have a article here for more tips: www.coachvaughn.net/blog/2018/1/16/why-your-kettlebell-swing-sucks
Hey Coach Vaughn, thanks for the video. Just one question about the loaded arm. How much should I worry about keeping this arm straight in the different phases of the swing? I'm just starting and sometimes I feel a little discomfort in the elbows, is this ok?
Hi Jose, yes the elbow remaining locked during the 1H Swing is crucial. The typical cause of the elbow bending is the KB is to heavy or you’re pulling it up (rather than exploding it up with the hips). That’s what causes the stress of the elbow tendon. I would keep the reps minimal at 5-6 per side to focus more on technique and explosiveness (5-6 sets or so). If it still hurts I would stick with 2H Swings a bit longer.
No, sorry. There’s no real point to adding a band to the one arm swing. It works for the two arm to correct better hip power output. The one arm has more emphasis on muscle contraction.
Becareful!!! At 2:10 sec you used a the wrong terminology. There is no such thing as being supinated down. When the palm is turned down, the proper term is "pronated" or "pronation." Otherwise good demonstration.
You’re right. I’ll be sure to put in a comment note in the video. I tend to overthink a lot what I say in the first couple takes with these. One time I actually said “maintain your vertical shit” and meant to say “vertical shin.”. Lol
You're doing two things totally incorrect. First the bell is tracking above the shoulder line. And your opposite shoulder is rotated/twisting at the top of the swing.
No I’m not…get your eyes checked Lol My hips are stacked over my shoulders. I just watched your KB videos and your technique is down right horrible…so I could really care less what you think. You seriously have videos of you forcing the KB overhead and calling them swings you hypocrite. Snatch the kettlebell if you want to do that.
For anyone reading this, watch this guy’s crap form in his video skipping to 4:25 - this is how you should NOT perform a 1H KB swing: m.ruclips.net/video/D-KOHJWXAuw/видео.html

Coach Vaughn: Remember in the two-handed swing how you used stretch bands to improve the speed of the reps? Do you have one for the one-handed swing?
No, sorry. There’s no real point to adding a band to the one arm swing. It works for the two arm to correct better hip power output. The one arm has more emphasis on muscle contraction.
