Russian Kettlebell increases overall fitness (ready my ‘Fitness and Russian Kettlebell Training Post‘).
Question that I get asked most often is “What can I do to improve my form?”
Quickest and quite worthless answer would be - it depends (depends on what’s wrong with the form).
That out of the way, there are 3 common mistakes that are made by beginners(to be honest, I can’t even call it mistakes… our bodies are so dis-functional from the inactivity that our flexibility, range of motion go to hell in a hand basket). Limitation is a more appropriate term here.
Anyway, the three most common mistakes/limitation are (drum roll please!):
- Limited range of motion(ROM) in the shoulder joint - arm can’t go all the way up without lower back arching/trouble locking arm in the snatch position
- Trouble locking/snapping hips when doing swings/cleans/snatches
- Lower back compensates for lack of pelvic and shoulder flexibility
Fun, right?
Luckily, it is all very fixable.
