They're jumping on the kettlebell bandwagon like all the other TH-cam influencers. And none of the influencers know how to use kettlebells properly either
I'm sorry but I don't think you are doing the swing quite right, you are using your arms too much, you are not thrusting the hips enough and not hinging at the hip...it's not a squat down and lift... and Brad, you look like you are quad dominant in your squat which I think is why you chose not to do more than one.
Yes. I love B&B's other videos, and while I don't have B&B's creds, I do use kettlebells a lot and have watched many videos about proper swing form. Proper form with the swing is extremely important. The hips drive the swing. The form shown in this video is way off.
Hi guys! You are the best. I love watching your videos. They are so helpful! I was wondering if you could do videos for people with scoliosis. I know every curvature is different but it'd be nice to hear what exercises are helpful in the setting of scoliosis.
The swing is more of a hip thrust and is therefore a horizontal movement. On the press, the wrist should not be bent. Not much of an issue for light weights but would cause problems when you use heavier KBs.
hey guys one trick when doing the lunges for beginners that will help you from keeping your knee going past your toe is to take a step backwards rather than forwards to do the lunge, its easier to arrive in the right position this way.
I have recovered after a nasty herniated disc (L4 L5) and the disc is very flat.Now, after months of lunges, planks, squats etc... I've began doing kettlebell swings, it feels good but must be done with lots of care and perfect form.
Hi guys Really like your channel, your unconditioned generosity with your knowledge is impressive. Very interesting to see two experienced physical therapists play with Kettlebells, but your form is all wrong, you had Kettlebell enthusiasts all around the world wincing. Hinge at the hips and keep your wrists straight, and blokes like you should be using much heavier weights at least for the swing. All said in the nicest possible way of course Bob.
physicaltherapyvideo thank you for your reply. In two weeks I’m taking a Kettlebell exam! The Ckt1 held by the IKFF. With the aim of becoming a kb instructor. I got into KB’s through rehabilitation, I snapped my bicep tendon off of my forearm,had 5 months off work suffered major atrophy in my shoulder and arm. The surgeon recommended a change of career! My physio was more positive he gave me a minimum of 6 months intensive rehab. Thanks to a work colleague who is also a Win Chung instructor I discovered Kettlebells just in time. I was back to full strength in four months, achieved at home with loud music and one 16kg kb. I’m 48 yr old tree surgeon and Hedgelayer, the Kettlebell has become a passion and am keen to learn anything and everything relating to Kettlebell use , particularly with regards to physical rehabilitation. So any comments or advice greatly received. Keep up the good work fellas.
Swings are a hinge movement....not a squat. A zillion old school Russians would faint if the saw this...and current day Pavel. And holding it in rack position, as deno’d, is not correct...both these incorrect moves, as illustrated, can CAUSE injuries.
Jetblacksmash I know! I love these guys...they are so spot on with everything else, but Kettlebells? We should’ve been tipped off when the term “kettleBALLS’’ was use. For those wanting to try KBs, I would suggest TH-cam Steve Cotter, Kettlebell Kings or Patel Tsatsouline.
physicaltherapyvideo Unfortunately, doing a squat instead of the hinge puts an enormous amount of stress on the lower back. I just hate to have this tool used incorrectly. There really isn’t a ‘different way to approach’...there’s only one Kettlebell swing...and that’s with a hinge movement. There is no plan b.
Agreed there is only one way to do a swing Steve Cotter helped me tremendously some of my friends even after a year cannot do a proper swing. I noticed when I watch different physical therapists some of their techniques conflict with each other over time I started coming up with my own philosophy on certain movements. this video could definitely do more harm than good unfortunately
Unfortunately I have to agree. There's probably a point here about specific expertise, that risks getting acrimonious. It's there though. There are lots of areas involved in being the sort of PT that Bob and Brad are, that I have no expertise in. I'm very wary of my sort of PT (the personal trainer sort) who drift beyond their expertise.
Looking for recommendations- I was blown off a building in USMC- fused total lower back and most of cervical spine. total left knee replacement are the two things holding me back. I also had other injuries consistent with explosive force- collapsed lungs, some TBI. This helps a bit with trying to improve core strength especially the do not do stuff any other advice appreciated. Subscribed
I enjoy kettlebell exercises. I use a lighter bell, and I am 59 years old. I have some slight disc issues in my neck and have had a pinched nerve in my shoulder. I am concerned about how the kettlebell swing might effect my neck. Any suggestions?
You guys are great. I recommend working on the rack position your wrist should not be bent and the Kettlebell should be at an angle in side of your hand watch some Steven Kotter videos on this
What is your opinion the the olympic weightlifting style of squat. In both the front squat and back squat the knees travel past the toes. In every major lift the train they knees travel past the toes. I would really like to get your opinion on this. I train these movements and have zero knee pain.
Swings are WAY more forgiving than deads for many reasons, especially the 1-arm variant. Google "Pavel Tsatsouline Joe Rogan keetlebell" for an excellent explanation.
8:14 It's funny, I was just watching a trainer who said if you go straight up you're not getting any benefit, you have to put it at an angle behind your head?
Ashish Tripathi not sure what you're asking but people typically start out with two kettlebells of different weights depends on how strong you are for a guy I'd say 20 lb for a girl I'd say 10 just for the average person to be safe
Dragon Door & many RKC trainers will suggest for healthy beginners, Female=8kg, Male=16kg. Oddly enough, TOO light of weight can be very dangerous to the upper body/shoulder joint by not forcing you to use hip power.
Really like these guys. The kettlebell swing is a hinge exercise not a squat exercise. These guys were squatting too much which is not the proper form.
This is an old video but you guys should delete it. Normally you are amazing but this is absolutely awful on just about every movement you demonstrate. Maybe you’re looking to create new business with all the injuries that would result if people actually used the form shown… just atrocious.
The swing is a hip hinge. Good form and posture are really important but you guys are doing them wrong. With heavier bells you would hurt something with that form.
@@jonklein7130 my 2 year rehabilitation. If you have an anatomy that make you prone to rotator cuff injuries lifting you arm overhead repeatedly is an injury for sure. You can always do swings.
You two are amazing....but you are clueless on kettlebells to point you could get someone hurt. Watch videos by Pavel Tsatsouline, RKC, Strong First....some of the original certification experts in the USA. I admire and learn from you both but kettlebells need proper form....and this video is not proper form. I've been using kettlebells for over 20 years. I started with Pavel's instruction material....and have continued to learn. I cringed watching this!!!
Gawd! You people! They're just making recommendation for seniors to exercise. They're not training people to do kettlebells. I've seen way worst TH-cam influencers who pass themselves off as experts.
Kettlebell swings, cleans, snatches, jerks and other ballistic full body movements need to be repeated hundreds of reps in order to learn proper technique. Please do follow the advices of professional kettlebell lifters and coaches. The technique shown in this video is poor, like these guys are trying them for the first time. If you need a kettlebell coach to start learning ballistic exercises with the kettlebell, please let me know - I have more than 25 years of experience as a coach and kettlebell sport athlete.
They're goal is just to offer variations on how to get active for seniors. They're not trainers. There are tons of so-called TH-cam influencer experts who have absolutely no knowledge of how to use a kettlebell properly.

These guys have given me invaluable rehab tips for years but this is literally a HOW TO get injured with kettlebells video. Please, guys, delete this video from your account.
They're using light kettlebells and they're not passing themselves off as experts, unlike TH-cam influencers who are worst than they are and pass themselves off as experts
Terrible form. And it’s perfectly fine for your knees to pass your toes. These guys are just un educated about form so don’t judge them they mean well. Oh and the form on the swings is epic
These guys are great physical therapist how ever they are far from kettlebell experts.
They're jumping on the kettlebell bandwagon like all the other TH-cam influencers. And none of the influencers know how to use kettlebells properly either
i love your humour. i just got an adjustable kettlebell and i trust you more than gymbros! i appreciate you!
I love you guys. Thank you.

I have just started using kettlebells and it is just like learning a dance routine but boy are they effective I am 69 so I take things easy.
Thank you, was looking for safe workouts!
You're so welcome!

Thanks guys best swing expiation I’ve seen
It’s wrong. Do not do it this way. Look at videos from Mark Wildman or Mike Salemi to learn proper technique.
The swing is more of a hip thrust and is therefore a horizontal movement. On the press, the wrist should not be bent. Not much of an issue for light weights but would cause problems when you use heavier KBs.
hey guys one trick when doing the lunges for beginners that will help you from keeping your knee going past your toe is to take a step backwards rather than forwards to do the lunge, its easier to arrive in the right position this way.
Not if you have weak, unstable knees.
Yes please, Do a video about the exercises we shouldn't do
Alex I think they just did
I have recovered after a nasty herniated disc (L4 L5) and the disc is very flat.Now, after months of lunges, planks, squats etc... I've began doing kettlebell swings, it feels good but must be done with lots of care and perfect form.
@Hell Fire I was taught by my physio , I do it well and use 6 kg kettle bell. I only do 2 minutes to warm up.
you guys have awoken a beast with this particular video upload , oh my.
You’re the best
Happy Halloween Bob and Brad;)
Great video gents! I know its an old one apparently but it brought me to your channel. I look forward to seeing more videos!

What weight KB's were you using? What weights would you recommend for a males, mid 60's, in good shape?
It doesn't matter what weight they're using is. The strength of each person is different
They need some coaching to push the hips through on the swings....

You're better off seeking advice from an occupational therapist. They work with people who have the issues you do

Knees can go past the toes. Just make sure the knees are pointing in the same direction as the toes.
You guys just rock 🪨
You can do these exercises using dumbbells or any household object. Kettlebells are extremely exoensive
Hey!!!
10:04 he almost took brad out with that swing
that's the worst swing i've ever seen
Thank you I thought the same thing
seems he's using shoulders and arms more then hips
8:14 It's funny, I was just watching a trainer who said if you go straight up you're not getting any benefit, you have to put it at an angle behind your head?
That quote was by Paulo Coelho not Ziglar.
Wonderful video guys. I was wondering if the swings were safe for the spine and you clarified that really well. Thanks!
please do a vid on the kettle bell exercises you should not do
Excellent video, thanks~
Can one with osteoporosis do this .
It’s like watching dumb and dumber at the gym 😆

Can you recommend kettlebell weight requirements?

Depends on your relative strength. I started with 10 pounds, but quickly increased weight to where I can use 25 lbs for many exercises
terrible swings hurts just seeing it
You are not doing the kettlebell swings properly. It is a hip hinge and thrusting the pelvis forward, not a bend at the knees and lift up and down.
Was that his back 7:50
