First post here, although I've been following SF for quite a while...
I thought it would be really interesting to hear your KB injury stories. That is, what kind of injuries/stubborn sorenesses have you gotten from doing kettlebell workouts. (previous injuries that flared up don't count in this case - the cause needs to be kb training exclusively).
My own "contribution"
I got a really stubborn ache in my lower back by doing 16 kg overhead kb presses with poor thoracic mobility. Oh, I wish I would have known about my t-spine mobility defiency, but it's fixed now after some dedicated foam rolling and other mobility exercises. After a year of rest, my back has become better and I'm training again with even greater focus on technique.
I also got in the kb swing injury trap when I arched my back at the top position... Not good...
By sharing our stories, I thought we could learn from each others' mistakes and hopefully stay injury free in the future.
