Looking good!
Start with the kettlebell a bit farther out in front, and tip it towards you ... get tight, then hike aggressively. See the video in
@Nacho's post above, by SF TL Brian Myers "Kettlebell Swing Errors and How To Fix Them".
Set up like that.
Focus on
projecting power forward, as if you're going to let the bell go at the top of the swing, you want it to go flying into the wall in front of you as hard as possible. ( But don't actually let it go
)
Hold the plank TIGHT until the kettlebell is halfway down. Your standing position goes soft as soon as the bell's descent starts (a common thing, don't ask me why it matters, but trust me that it does. Besides, it looks better if you keep the crisp plank position. Haha). You want a good tight plank, then
hinge quickly so you beat the kettlebell to the back of the backswing. S
it back in the hips as you move to the hinge position.
Last, try to make the
power/exertion happen earlier - right out of the backswing, and especially as the bell is coming through your legs. Forceful exhale with this hardest part of the effort. Here's my
best example. See how I put all the work in up front, in the first part of the swing? A forceful, explosive effort. By the time the kettlebell is halfway up, I just let it float and enjoy the float, while holding the vertical plank.
