Anyone else find this channel during the quarantine?
Nice! Black suit on white background makes following your moves easier. Thanks!
This is a great video. I always try to put my mind on the form to make sure i don't compromise anything or hinge to soon
Thank you It's an old video, the audio is best, but yes, the message is still valid. Check out some of the new videos on the channel, got plenty covering other common kettlebell mistakes.
I wish I had watched this before. I did kettlebell swings two days ago and my back is killing me 😖 this video has been very helpful. I'll give it another go.
Very helpful, I was feeling a lot of tension in my lower back and realized I was doing something wrong.
Glad to have been of help. This is an old and bad-quality video, I can highly recommend checking out the new videos, a lot of common mistakes like these are covered. Let me know how you go
Echo is really distracting...
.... but the info is excellent:))
Agreed, it was a choice of not putting it out there and just mark it as time wasted or post as is 😁👌
I did this a few weeks ago. I couldn't walk for 3 days because I legit thought I broke my back. Thanks for the tips!
Glad it helped.
How's your back now? Do you do kb swings with this technique?
Excellent...will try this today
Beautiful swing 🧡🧡
Wow, this video is a life saver. I watched so many videos and the visuals on this one is the best by far. The explanation of letting the kettlebell drop lower before doing the hip hinge is KEY. Thanks!
Thank you, I have to redo it one day as there was too much echo and I did not have a microphone. But yes, the delay is the key to avoiding back problems.
By far the best explanation of technique i have found. Will implement this immediately and will not move up in weight or reps until i've mastered this properly....thank you!
Thanks for this tip it is very helpful
Taco = my new hero. 👍💪💪
Very interesting video.
Thank you..followed your tips and had a pain free swing session..
that's great man, love hearing that.
That's really good advice and might explain why particularly in stop start Kettlebell swings I'm getting back pain. I'm hanging too early.
glad to be of help, here's a better video czcams.com/video/QjTTyxA2-qc/video.html
@@Cavemantraining following you now. I really appreciate your assistance.
@@crayzmarcawesome, this video is horrible quality. If you're after learning a lot, check this out go.cavemantraining.com/cic
Taco! My back feels better already! I didn’t realize what I was doing. Thanks T! Mark J.
Mark, that's what it's all about, great to hear. Thanks for leaving a comment.
Thanks mate good vid✌
Glad it helped
Tienes una técnica impecable como siempre saludos cordiales desde Colombia.
excellent! just what I needed... I kept wondering why after a day or two of kettlebell training my back and hamstrings kept killing me. Thanks for this!
you're welcome
Same here. I've been training on and off for about a year because of this pain.
great instructional, i've been breaking early for a long time and this video clicked with me
Glad it helped!
This is great! I just trained with the kb today and I always have lower back pain from it and never knew why. I will put in these techniques and apply them immediately
Awesome. Hope it helps Richie. If not, post in our groups and we can help further.
Please do a video.on wrist and arm pain during overhead press. Killing me
Genius
Great video. I never realized I was doing this. Sucks because now I got this weird lower back pain I've been working to get rid of. If there are stretches or moves I need to do to fix this I would super appreciate it.
Try some downward and upward dogs.
Ah now I see. On the up swing I was completely extending my arms and was getting pulled forward.
Love the visuals and instructions. Would benefit from a lapel microphone.

Cavemantraining Touché :) Fair enough, completely understand. Thanks for the effort, I’m sure it’s not trivial producing content.
I started doing towels kb swings to perfectly time the hinge. I let my fists hit my groin area and then automatically hinge because the kb pulls me back.
Hey Taco, great video. 2 months back I picked up lower back pain, muscle spasm on right hip & flexor. Then rested and all so pain settled down. Few weeks back i started with some bodyweight pushups, squats and dips guess what pain came back. Now rested again for good 2 weeks and pain seems to settle down. What would be your suggestions to recover best plus what would be the great way to start Kettlebells training again? I have Kettlebells 12kgs x 2, 1 Kettlebell of 16kgs & 2 of 10kgs plates.
I was doing swings with 12 x 2 when i picked up the pain 🤦🏻♂️ FYI I do have PT & he is the one who introduced me with Bells back in December. I was enjoying for good 2 months until picked up this back problem
Hi Maulik, hard to give advice when not seeing anything. Without seeing anything and you saying you got the pain back again with bodyweight work sounds to me like you're not engaging your abs, not creating a strong structure around the spine, not using your gluteals, etc. It could be tight hammies. But again, this is just from reading your comments. One should really see form and technique in action.
A good way to start is slow. You need to fix the cause before progressing. So, hard to say. The safest thing would be no explosive work. Deadlifts with a squat movement. Assisted clean and upper body work. Or even sticking to bodyweight and working on strength and flexibility.

Been training my whole life and finally did some kettlebell swings to me back routine. Next 2 days I could not hardly walk are even breath. My mid back to lower back had intense pain. Obviously my techniques was not correct.

I wanted to watch the whole thing but the strobe light above you was too much for my sensory issues. sorry. but the black on white was a great choice for seeing detail.
Do you keep your elbows slightly bent when you're doing the swings? Keeping the kettlebell close to you is good right? Thank you so much for this video, very helpful
My elbow can be slightly bent, it all depends on where the kb is/goes, if I really direct it away from me then the arm will be straight. In the end you want to make sure there is not tension on the elbow flexors, so as long as the kb is not going away from me then I can keep the elbow soft. It's not an active bent, it's created by active lats acting on the upper arm and the elbow being soft while the kb travels up.
@@Cavemantraining Thank you so much. I'm very slim and have no experience, 175cm and 63kg--would you recommend that I go to a Strong First class to start? Your video was very helpful but I think I need someone to watch me
@@snowf6307 going to a trainer and have your form checked is always recommended. As for StrongFirst, they know their stuff for sure, but the thing I don't like is that it's black and white and very limited. But it might be what you're after and certainly better than nothing. We also provide online coaching dedicated to what you need, there is an online course, and there is also our Caveman Inner Circle www.cavemantraining.com/kettlebells/how-to-begin-kettlebell-training/
PS. It might look like I'm trying to steer you away from SF, correct, but not for $, but for the limitation and other reasons better not discussed in the open
@@Cavemantraining I understand! I'll consider my options including the Caveman Inner Circle course. I appreciate you taking the time to give me advice. I need a stronger core for boxing and I am glad I came across the kettle bell and your videos. Thank you again
It sure did. Cgeers
great video- terrible audio. Very difficult to understand
The bell floats in the air as a result of the hip movement.
?
Cavemantraining In my experience, yes. It’s not a purposeful lift of the bell.
@@juliehock6059 I am at a completely loss as to what you are referring too?
Good video but horrendous audio quality (echo!)
absolutely
Should I do kettlebell swings (with proper technique!) if I have lower back disk protrusion/hernia? I love this exercise, but everybody tells me that it's kinda "literally hitler" for my lower back. But what if I do it with an ultra-proper technique, as you showed..?
No, you probably should not. Just work on flexibility, mobility, and strength first until everything is good.
@@Cavemantraining but "everything is good" will never happen with spinal discs :) I mean, my lower back does not hurt me (sometimes it does if I abuse stretching or smth), so it's not like I can't walk now.
What about the kettlebell Romanian deadlift instead of the swing? RDL movements are not so explosive and there are more delineated "start" and "end" positions. As well, I can do it with slow accentuated movement (which I can't in swings). What do you think of it?
Hi, I'd recommend to add a visual red X and a "Do NOT do it like this" when you demonstrate the incorrect way. Some people might fast forwards in the video and catches at the bad part and might interprets it as the correct form. Thanks for the video!
Hi, the people that fast forward aren't really here to learn.
@@Cavemantraining I will add that well, the audio can be very difficult for non-native speakers, so, visual aids would be useful not only for those who fast-forward but also those who rewind because they did not understand.
Anyway, we give you constructive criticism because it's an extremely useful video for people who train alone!
@@Philippe620 the audio is bad quality, no doubt about it, it is what it is. Check out other videos for better quality
Too much echoe
