Safety Issues

  • Always pay attention.
  • Train on a flat surface, free of clutter, with enough free space around you.
  • Generate power through the hips, not the arms.
  • Do not over-extend the wrist! The handle should rest against the palm of the hand, wrists kept in a neutral alignment.
  • Do not round the back under a load.
  • Do not overly arch your back or neck in the lock out position.
  • In a overhead lockout position, do not shrug your shoulder up to your ear.
  • Keep the knees tracking with the feet.
  • Make sure you can always drop the kettlebell if things go wrong, preferably not on someone’s or your own foot.
  • Do not over reach or try to recover an unbalanced rep, let the kettlebell drop.
  • Keep moving in between sets,once the heart rate is high. It helps push the blood back to the heart without unnecessary stress.
