Why are you so good at teaching? All your videos are super useful. Thank you so much. I’m from Taiwan, and I’m working on getting the SFG certification. Love watching your kettlebell videos
Great video and instruction - well done! Another great cue for swing form in general is the standing broad jump. Almost everyone who attempts a standing broad jump will move into and load the posterior chain in exactly the same way the body should move in a swing. (It won't work if you load up for a vertical jump - that will naturally be too "squatty" for a swing.)
Depends on your goal. For power purposes you use paradoxical breathing, when the bell is down between your legs breathe in, when you’re going to drive the bell up with your hips you exhale. So the opposite of your body’s movement, down breathe in, up breathe out. Make sure the exhale is powerful, think a grunt or loudly call out the rep you’re doing 1, 2, 3 etc... this is the right exhale. It’ll help with the hip drive. If you want to build up endurance and go for days on reps you use anatomical breathing. When the bell is down between your legs you breathe out, when you drive the bell up with your hips you breathe in. Anatomical breathing is the opposite of paradoxical, it goes with your body’s movement, when you’re up breathe in, when you’re down breathe out. Paradoxical breathing is recommended for beginners. Anatomical breathing is more advanced, also it is not for everyone many people report feeling a burning feeling in their lungs and will cough a lot. So I recommended paradoxical breathing.
Sam Thanks so much for responding. I appreciate your in-depth explanation. I am a beginner so I will try paradoxical breathing. Thanks again for taking the time to respond to my post.
Krishna Mahabir my pleasure. Take your time with it. If you’re not used to the breathing it’ll take some time to get used to it. Most important thing is to keep breathing. The tendency is to hold your breath, while holding the breath during a lift is also another style of breathing for strength and control, again it’s an advanced concept. I would recommend doing a couple of reps without the weight, just with your body and practice the breathing for a little, then grab the weight and go for it. Stop if you get out of sync and restart. As obvious as it may sound, breathing is very important. Good luck with your training.
@@HardstyleKettlebellPro Honestly the least I could do. My training has become safer and more meaningful because of your instruction. So I can't thank you enough.
