Purchased S&S less than 2 weeks ago, loving it and everything StrongFirst and Pavel have to offer.
I have access to a 16 kilo kettlebell. The Swing is no problem with it, I hope to get up to 10 sets and then get my hands on a 24 kilo one to move on.
TGU's on the other hand are a big problem. I've been able to get the movement down I think relatively decently. My problem is bruising and pain from the kettlebell on the back of my wrists/forearms. Its gotten to the point that I couldn't do a set of TGU's this morning at all.
The possible problems and solutions that I see are as follows:
1- I'm just a weak a#@ dweeb that needs to toughen up. Perhaps I can do TGU with dumbells until the bruising pain goes away and then try again. Repeat that process until my arms toughen up.
2- The kettlebell handle is too small, placing the weight of the kettlebell too high up.
3- I'm holding the kettlebell wrong somehow.
Any help from the community would be much appreciated.
