Swingers: An Alternate View

Thousand roads to Mecca...many paths up the mountain...many ways to skin a cat.
9 times out of 10, when we're talking kettlebells on this site, we're talking a more girevoy sport, competitive kettlebell, style of lifting, also known as a soft style. Well, as with everything else, there's a thousand different points of view on how to lift a bell.

The truth is, it all depends on what you're trying to accomplish. Girevoy sport is the art of being as energetically efficient as possible to accomplish as much work over time as possible. Rob Russell, a kettlbell enthusiast, strongman and killer blogger, just posted a couple of entries coming from the other way, a harder style of lifting. The following link comes highly recommended.

I'm not, and never will be a hard style lifter. It doesn't fit my goals. However, most of my clients that lift, lift in a more hard style, because that's what fits with their goals. Give a look and let me know what you think.
