How to perform

One-arm kettlebell swing, feet shoulder-width, neutral spine. At chest height, bend elbow, high-pull bell to shoulder (straight wrist, close to body). Punch back out same path to next swing. Shoulders packed, core braced, tall posture.

Tips

Master one-arm swing first. Elbow above wrist (upper back activation). Control bell descent—no dropping. No shrug/flare; scapulae back/down. Smooth push-pull timing, no jerking.
