Kettlebell About swing ,I need some advice.

[ImNoobTrustMe]

My mother tongue is not English, I try my best to express what I mean。
When I first touched the kettlebell, I could use 24KG to do 10X5 50swings（2Hands），Because the handle rubs my inner thigh every time I swing，So I chose to use a 20KG kettlebell for 1hand swing,I finished 100 times in 5 minutes。
I was injured some time ago，When I re-use kettlebell training，I start again from 24KG（2Hands），But the old problem reappeared，The handle will still rub against my inner thigh，I can now use a 24KG kettlebell to complete a 10X5 swings(2Hands)and 10TGU.
My problem is that I continue to use 24KG to complete the 10X10 swing（2Hands）？Or directly use 16KG or 20KG to practice 1hand swing？

What’s the handle shape like on your kettlebell? Is it very wide? Share a picture of the kettlebell.

你壶铃上的手柄形状是什么样的？是不是很宽？分享壶铃的图片。

Take a wider stance mate, I faced the same problem when I was regularly swinging.

 

[Kev]

Hmmm yeah. I own one of similar design and it rubs also. I only bought this one to stash in work and do snatches with though I did notice rubbing when I warmed up with 2 arm swings. Maybe a slightly wider stance. When swinging.

I’ve owned kbs for almost 20 years and one of the issues my supplier quickly fixed was handle dimensions. Many early kettlebells hit the wrist bones when doing cleans or where too short. Such a complex issue for something so simple and it’s amazing this issue still crops up.

I'm standing very wide，If the distance continues to widen，I feel uncomfortable during training。

Damn. All I can suggest is a different design or supplier. So called pro-grade kettlebell that GS sport practitioners use have near horizontal handles.

 

[Kev]

This is my nearly 20 year old 25kg next to a modern 24kg. Observe the difference in handle.

You may need to swing the kettlebell lower.

A video of your swing would help us to help you.

This design. Because of handle issues with most modern bells I tend to recommend this design when decent cast iron bells cannot be found.

这是我近 20 岁的 25 公斤，旁边是现代的 24 公斤。观察手柄的不同。

If I lower the height of the swing, the swing will become a squat。

 

[Mark Limbaga]

A vid will definitely help us answer if your swing is acceptable or what needs to be improved...

Post a video man before you go and spend money. You’d be amazed what a bit of technique input will do.

 

[ImNoobTrustMe]

I’ll record one tomorrow, but I’m in China, I’m not sure if you can watch the video normally

Hmmm. I see. Well I hope you can post and people on here will be more than helpful.

Is that 25kg a Stan Pike Kev ?

 

[Kev]

It is indeed. I have mostly his design in my arsenal

I thought it looked familiar!
I had quite a few in the past but sold them on to buy what I thought were better ones.
Regret not keeping a few now.
