Why Your Kettlebell Won’t Swing (Part 4)
October 21, 2009 by admin
The Kettlebell swing should be a very simple kettlebell exercise to learn…and it is for the most part. It shouldn’t take an entire 8-hour day to learn or to teach the kettlebell swing.
There are however certain issues that could stop you from getting the most power from your kettlebell swings.
- Tight Hip Flexors
- Weak Gluteals
- And Weak Hip Flexors
Basically, all these issues are related through your nervous system and their inter-action with one another is what creates how well or how poorly you swing your kettlebell, run , jump or make love.
Follow along with the video below. This method should be applied last, once you’ve gained your new range of motion.
P.S. How to Fix your Goblet Squat. This 17 Part series (it’s very complicated) will begin next week.
Nice series on hip flexors. I look forward to the goblet squat series - let it take as many videos as it needs!
although Im signed up Im not getting these videos
Hey Bill,
Thanks. I was being sarcastic about the Goblet Squat series. It’s an inside joke that I share with some other kettlebell pros. I will highlight the Goblet Squat though.
@ Tom,
No idea…I just hit send. Can they be going to your spam folder ? Maybe putting us on your whitelist wil help.
Jason, thank you for the great hip flexor series. 1 Question on video 4 when I contract the hip flexor, as I relax do I immediately try to contract the glute.

Professor Komar!,
Great question. That would be ideal. Initially you might find it easier just to focus on the relaxation and stretch.
As you progress though, and you might be there aleady, work it together.
