I remember Kelly saying the last thing he would do with a quad dominant person is free squats.

I assume you also got a small "book" when you bought it, showing a few exercises, right?

Yeah in the single leg bounds you lengthen the bands with one leg and you shorten the bands with the other leg... so the bands pretty much stay at the same length => no tension and possible balance issues.

I hate banded swings because so many people do them wrong... it teaches them to use so much more arm strength because the tension increases towards the top and the hip snap has already happened somewhere at the bottom so they try to use the shoulders/shrug etc using the arms more.

Yeah but how is it possible to have such a slow pulse etc? If I get out of the bed in the morning my heartrate goes to 80-90, I bet this.

By the way - what do you think about replacing badly executed power cleans (I do them using the back instead of the hips - I feel a lot of "lowerback pull" when doing them) with KB swings which are much easier to execute correctly?

Yeah but you don't have Asafa Powell's 10x hip flexor size vs a normal person.

You're weak.

The end.

Have you tried walking swings? Like, LR or RL "plant" swings where you take a step forward with say your left leg, swing the bell and as your bell reaches the top of the movement you take your other step (with your right leg in this case).

I think it's the most specific swing exercise for a LR plant in a jump for example. You can also do variations on this (like swinging the bell without taking any steps and while the bell reaches the top you do both steps while there (it will be less tension on your legs though)).

I learned about these variations in the Encyclopedia of Kettlebell lifting by Steve Cotter.

On what do you base these assumptions? How do you know your hip flexors are strong?

Yeah I know you said there will be part two, but I had to remind you of that chin down stuff in this comment :P

Interesting... 1/3 huh? Well 1/3 of my bodyweight would be 27 kg (so a 28 kg kettlebell) and I have a 24 kg KB but 1/3 really sounds like an arbitrary number that doesn't take into account the athlete's strength...

Don't tell me the same 1/3 recommendation is the same for a guy with a 1x squat and for a guy with a 3x squat as well.

That's like saying "you should snatch with 0.4x bodyweight". Um... no, not really. You should snatch at your individual strength level and with a weight that gives you the best training effect in regards to YOUR strenght level.

So I'm not really ready to buy the 1/3 recommendation.
