Kettlebell Overhand Grip Swing
Target Muscle
Secondary Muscles
Equipment
Lower your body into a slight squat, hinging at the hips and keeping your back straight, while swinging the kettlebell between your legs.
Next, explosively drive your hips forward, straightening your legs and swinging the kettlebell up to chest height.
Let the kettlebell swing back down between your legs, bending your knees slightly and hinging at the hips.
Repeat this swinging motion, maintaining the overhand grip and ensuring your movement is driven by your hips and not your arms.
Pro Tip
Power from the Hips: The swing should be initiated from your hips, not your arms. Drive your hips forward to swing the kettlebell up, and let it fall back down as your hips move back. Mistake to avoid: Do not lift the kettlebell with your arms or shoulders. The power should come from your hips and glutes. Right Height: The kettlebell should be swung up to shoulder height, no higher. It's about the swing, not the height. Mistake to avoid: Do not swing the kettlebell too
