Kettlebell training with little injuries

This means wrapping your injury as part of your warm-up to stretch the tight tissues of your body.

They become more pliable and easier to pull apart when the time for training comes around. Other times, you will want to train around an injury and perform simple drills to help reduce the sharpness of the pain and make it easier on your body rather than trying to work against the damage.

WRIST WRAPS WHIP is the easiest of all the kettlebell variations. By starting out on the front (pistol) and bringing your arm and shoulder underneath the kettlebell, you can use the momentum of the swing to flip your legs in the same direction your arm is moving your kettlebell. This will be the easiest form of movement if your shoulder joints are not too damaged, and if you have no problem lifting your leg off of the ground. If you are struggling to complete the technique, try to swing the kettlebell high into the air and catch it with your free hand by swinging it underneath your arm. The high upswing is harder to execute, because you have to make sure to keep your shoulder joint open rather than hunch your back. If this is the case, try lowering your shoulders while swinging the kettlebell, and use a little more momentum in your step to flip your foot and leg in the same direction your arm is moving the kettlebell in.

On an inclined swing, you will reach deeper and longer into time than on a flat swing. This is a good thing to keep in mind when determining whether or not your shoulder is too injured to perform the Whip.

The Kettlebell Snatch is a simple and direct way to lift your kettlebell from the ground to shoulder height, but it is not the easiest way to handle your kettlebell.
