Thank you for this! I seem to always aggravate my sciatica from swings. I just tried the pendulum using my t-bar and then the kettlebell. I definitely felt a difference. In my calves, hamstrings and glutes. I won't overdo it and will keep an eye on the sciatica. Will keep practicing the pendulum and standing at attention. Thank you again!
Love the clear and detailed explanation. Just started working out with kettlebells and it's the only piece of equipment that allows me to work through my knee issues. Subscribed!
Good explanation. I like to break most strength/power moves in to either a push, pull, or jump; the hip thrust most definitely embodies the jump and is exactly what I teach. Kudos.
On the apex of the swing do I intentionally halt it or am I aiming for it to stop and on deceleration of the bell am I actively driving it backward or is it just gravity? Thank you in advance if you respond.
How many sets and reps do you recommend (you said 5 to 10 reps for beginners) once the technique is mastered and how many times a week would you suggest?
