Kettlebell Swings…

10x10 @ 53lbs


“If you look at the positions, the kettlebell swing is not unlike a deadlift. The fact is, when performed correctly, they're identical except for the position of the weight. The kettlebell swing is decidedly simple: explode from bottom position to top position – simple as that. 


The really cool part about the heavy swing is that you not only get the same benefits as the deadlift, but you also get a killer eccentric and true plyometric action at the bottom of the swing”. - T Nation
