⚠️ Most common mistake: Squatting the bell up and down instead of hinging the hips back and snapping forward. Lifting the kettlebell with the arms and shoulders instead of letting the hips do the work. Rounding the lower back at the bottom, which puts the spine at risk under load. Hyperextending the lower back at the top of the swing instead of finishing with squeezed glutes.
💪 Where you should feel it: Mainly in the Glutes. The Keskivartalo assist.
