arent dumbbell swings more of a hip movement rather than a shoulder movement?

pause completely at the bottom, keep arms fully locked out, and try to initiate all movement through the shoulders..... you'll use the hips but if you do it that way you'll get alot more shoulder.. if you go too heavy itll become hip movement primarily.

I could always do KB swings well, hip initiated, because the arms are being kept straight and the KB is going foward. I could never understand how can you do power cleans or snatches, where the arm bends, without involving the arms.
Current PR status:

All time squat: 165 kg/Old age squat: 130 kg
All time deadlift: 184 kg/Old age deadlift: 140 kg
All time bench: 85 kg/Old age bench: 70kgx5reps
All time hip thrust (same as old age hip thrust): 160kgx5reps

hmm never did them like that

Another great but under used exercise for improving lower/upper body in terms of vertical jump power- overhead med ball throws, almost same thing as swings except your letting go for distance or height

Yeah, they are a good exercise, triple extension.
