Thanks Zobot 🙂 I must have forgotten about that body image one … lost my to-do list LOL! Will work on something soon.

Regarding the clean, this happens because often the swing portion of the movement is too horizontal, so it has too much forward force and not enough vertical force. In other words you are swinging it too far in front (with too straight an arm) before initiating the actual “pull” [from the hips]. Next thing, is people often let the Bell part of the KB swing higher than the handle. If the handle is kept level or higher with the Bell part you will be less likely to allow the KB to flop over the hand and wrist, allowing the KB to rotate round and nestle in the rack position. Finally, don’t pulling the KB up with your arm, pull it across to the rack using your hips (glutes). So, if you are trying to clean the KB to the right you are rotating the hip by “pushing” with the left glute and “pulling” with the right hip. Hope this makes sense 🙂

Cheers,
Marianne

Question: every time I do a clean and press workout my wrists end up with bruises and swelling. Am I doing it wrong or do you get them too?

Thanks!

Thanks Wendy 🙂

eek! any wonder the SKS’s were a killer!

Interesting. Thanks, Wendy!

I love the sound of your lilting Irish voice! So, don’t stop talking! 🙂 I just did this workout today and holy crap, I am tired! (Darn stand-kneel-stand exercises! Also, it didn’t help that I did front-loaded rear lunges before this! ha ha!)

Thanks for being awesome!

Hi Nancy,

I always to the renegade rows with the round DBs on a mat so the DBs don’t roll around and make so much noise. The squishiness of the mat keeps the DBs from rolling around.

Hope that helps!

Thank you!

LOL! I Love Kitties and they love me … YAY!

Hi Nancy, I would opt for the Row over the lighter option. You can work the core with another exercise. I mainly include the Renegade Row to give a little variety to the Pulling exercise 🙂
