The BEST Kettlebell Swing Technique - Straight Arms vs Bent Arms ??

In this episode Mike Salemi, of Kettlebell Lifestyle, shares with Justin Andrews of Mind Pump the difference in kettlebell swing techniques: Straight Arms vs Bent Arms swings.

Key talking points and takeaways:

- Arms are just whips
- No pulling from the arms
- Leg driven movement
- More vertical movements help guide the trajectory of the kettlebell
- Maintain good back and shoulder girdle alignment
- Slight bend can keep the chest more open and align the shoulders
- As the bell is lowering that's where the arms can be slightly bent
- ONLY when the arms lose contact with the body should you bend your arms
- NOT a bicep exercise
