While performing kettlebell windmills it is essential that the back leg (the leg that is supporting most of your weight) remains vertical to the ground. Think of it as a pillar that supports your structure. Additionally the arm that is supporting the kettlebell overhead also remains vertical with a fully extended elbow throughout the entire movement.

Sorry about the photo quality, not sure how to enhance these or make them larger. If you look close there’s kettlebells by their feet. From my understanding, these photos are of Nazi troops during WW2 kettlebell training. There’s another photo of them throwing their kettlebells into the air.
