I am a huge fan of the Dark Knight - and statement like this make me sad. Scratch it - not sad. Angry.

I actually get more out of the 2 hand swings than 1 hand swings. I find I can just blast through and create much more total body tension , from my neck to my toes, without fear of launching a bell through my garage walls. Great work!Today's practice: Timeless 48 kg
As predicted, my legs (especially inner thigs) are pretty sore from the two-hand swings. They do load the body quite differently. As I need to get used to them, I did them today and will do them again on Friday. Next week - one-arm and two-arm swings. I have an idea.
- Goblet squats: 5x3 with 48 kg, 15 squats total
- Two-arm swings: 10x10 with 48 kg, 100 swings total
- Get-ups: 1x10 with 48 kg, 10 get-ups total.

I'll usually do two hand swings once/twice a week, using a band for extra tension. I'll do 15-20 rounds of five as in A&A training, just to really work on being a bit more explosive coming out of the hinge. Another than that I will do 1 hand swings for 10.There is no doubt the explosive power is higher in two-hand swings, but I would not say "I get more" out of two-arm swings then one-arm swings: both have their advantages. Check out what Pavel writes in S&S - and I confirm from my own practice. I would personally say that the recipe is mainly one-arm swings with occasional two-arm swings, or alternating. Observation - in my gym, too many people stay with just two-arm swings for too long - if they want to do cleans and snatches in the future (they want), the one-arm swing is a must.
Heavy!
