Is it common that even if you swing the KB the right way you may get a tightening and then pain in the lower back. I have been trying for years to swing the bell the right way and I always wind up with a tight and painful lower back. Last night at the gym (http://www.sostrength.com/) I work out at, I was doing over head KB swings and wasted my lower back. I couldn't do anything else after that. A week back the instructor said I was doing better on my swings and I don't feel I was doing anything different this time. I tried three days in a row to follow the S&S protocol before going to the gym and each time my lower back tightened up with pain following. I could have sworn I did it just like I did it at the gym when I was supposed to be doing it right. It did feel right at the gym. I could feel it in my legs and glutes afterwards.
