TECHNIQUE: Starting with feet hip width apart, weight in the heels and midfoot, shoulders retracted and arms straight. Hike the kettle bell into the hinge and drive your heels into the floor extending the hips. Bring your feet off the ground with core engaged and finish with the kettlebell in the hollow position. ADVANTAGE: This version of the american swing is an excellent movement for generating power, glycolytic capacity and a total body conditioning exercise. FAULTS: Lack of hip engagement. Arms are in a bent position. Kettle bell does not finish in a hollow positon. SCALING: Movement can be scaled to an American Swing by taking out the plyometric variation.
