I tend to practice a lot of swings but much of that is done while I teach. Today was a rare workout for me where it was swing centric but I did love it.

I did a lot of swings in January, often 300-1000 in a day and paid the price. Will never do that again. It was good for endurance but killed my joints, especially my knees. Sandy,

Our RKC II instructor, Michael Rendle, emphasizes the same things. Do quality, hard-style reps. Good advice all-around. Our RKC II instructor, Michael Rendle, emphasizes the same things.

Using intelligence is half the battle in any endeavor. Videos can certainly be of benefit but they aren't able to provide feedback at all. Train with purpose, Sandy Sommer RKC Michael,

You’re on the right track for sure. Using intelligence is half the battle in any endeavor. Videos can certainly be of benefit but they aren’t able to provide feedback at all.

Train with purpose,

I just moved up to a 20kg bell from a 16. It's a totally different feel. Doing sets of 10 instead of 20 or 25 was all I felt was good to do. I was able to spend a little time speaking to the gentlemen who I bought it from and just from that learned more on the swing. (I get a lot from your videos, but nothing like face time with an expert) One thing I did learn is it will be worth the time to have an official lesson with an RKC, which I will do. Sandy,
