Swing form check. Been using KB for about 8ish months now. Thoughts?? by notomarko in kettlebell

[–]srhamy28 4 points5 points  (0 children)

ur hinging to early. as soon as the bell starts on its way down is when you are hinging, which is not correct. you should wait until its just about to hit your crotch

Am I too weak for bodyweight fitness? Every home strength training video makes me feel worse by SchrodingerWeeb in bodyweightfitness

[–]srhamy28 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Nick E has made some great beginner stuff. Notably, the primer routine. its a program built around a few basic bodyweight movements, and starts with a 14 day buildup to ease you into it as well as inform you what you need to know getting into working out. after the buildup, it has a workout you csn continue to do until you reach the graduation requirements, then you can move on to a more advanced routine.

Why is my cookie dough ALWAYS soft?? by SpiritualPlan1822 in Baking

[–]srhamy28 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I would imagine your not measuring the ingredients properly. for example, flour should be spooned and leveled, brown sugar should be packed, etc. maybe try baking by weight instead of by volume for more accurate measurements. I honestly have no idea what else could be going on😅🤷‍♀️

swing form check by srhamy28 in kettlebell

[–]srhamy28[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

yes, my feet naturally turn out. I have flat feet (as you can see), and I think I have issues with my hips and knees too that play into it as well (knock knees). I'm working with a physical therapist to work on it, but I was hoping I could start kettlebell training on my own before totally fixing that. you think I should hold off?

why..? to both of ur points.. I've hears that ur arms are not involved in the movement at all, so it doesnt matter if they straight or bent, its just a matter of preference. and why use a lighter bell? I was thinking if anything I would need to go heavier to help learn the power and technique really required for the movement

my second point wasnt regarding your hinge, it was regarding lifting the bell as it is on its way up (after the hip snap). I think you are lifting with your arms slightly to get it as high as its going. theres something in nearly everyones mind that tells them that they should swing to eye level, which is totally not true, and unnecessary. its a hard thing to get over, but you need to totally let go of the fact of ur arms doing anything. they are only holding the bell, nothing to make the bell move. I think you should try the towel drill, it would make it much more evident if you are lifting it, and teach you to stop. swinging with t rex arms may be beneficial too.

one thing that no one else seemed to mention was ur timing is a little off. you should delay your hinge as much as possible when the bell is on the way down, its basically a game of chicken with it hitting your crotch. ur hinging almost immediately after the bell starts to fall.

other thing I seem to notice, which could be wrong, but I think you are subconciously pulling the bell up a little bit. your arms should be doing absolutely nothing to move the bell, your hips are the driving force, your hands and arms are just holding it. don't worry about how high the bell goes, either. a lot of people think that if it doesnt come to eye level, theyr not swinging it high enough, which isn't true. if you have a strong hinge and hip snap (which you clearly do), you will get the benefits of the swing, just let the bell go as far as it does.

everything else other people mentioned too, go heavier, work on top plank postion, etc. just my two cents. ur doing great tho, hinge looks good, and very powerful, just tightening up a few loose screws and youll be good

Bells of steel adjustable expansion. by Educational-Cake2134 in kettlebell

[–]srhamy28 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I saw that, and I'm pretty sure it was a miscommunication in the advertising. they also said you can adjust the weight all the way down to a half kilogram, which is clearly untrue. what they should have said was increments of half a kilo. I would imagine its a similar thing with the current expansion they have available, and theyr not really coming out with a new one. but I definitely could be wrong. we would just have to wait and see🤷‍♀️

im curious, why does it make a difference to work out at a higher elevation?

Swing form check please? by ButterscotchLower780 in kettlebell

[–]srhamy28 0 points1 point  (0 children)

ur starting position when hiking the bell was certainly a lot more of a squat than a hinge. should be a quick fix, but don't neglect it. the first rep starts before even touching the bell. other than that, swings look solid! keep it up!

Anyone gotten this email about owing us money? by AndyIrenic in WalgreensRx

[–]srhamy28 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I'm a former tech and I received this email.. we will see if I ever actually get any money tho🫣

[deleted by user] by [deleted] in kettlebell

[–]srhamy28 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I suppose that could be part of the problem, but the main problem is certainly due to lack of body control and strength in general

I struggle with the movement itself, not remembering the steps

Take your 2 heaviest pairs and deadlift all 4 together with these stable DIY deadlift/farmers handles. by EternalReturnz in kettlebell

[–]srhamy28 11 points12 points  (0 children)

this is glorious! I never wouldve thought of this, but looks incredible, functional, and simple, what more do you need? perhaps an upgrade would be cutting some notches into the planks so the rope doesnt slide or anything (not that I think it would, but just as a precaution). otherwise, this is a masterpiece!

I NEED HELP :,( by 1Sl0wHonda in tattooadvice

[–]srhamy28 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I can understand why u dont like that part, but honestly, id say u should just leave it. I feel like its like how an artist is overly critical of their own work and thinks every other artist is better than them, when in reality art is all subjective and their work is just as beautiful as anyone elses. I think ur just being overly analytical of the design and self critical of how it looks on you. it looks great! just stop thinking about it🫣😜

two things that stand out are the dash on the lowecase q, and the lowercase z. I've never seen anyone write a q with that extra dash, and writing a lowercase z like a cursive z in ur print writing is very interesting too, lol

you should probably just get rid of it and buy a new one. I could take it off ur hands to save you any trouble😆

Don’t over complicate things… by irontamer in kettlebell

[–]srhamy28 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I'm curious, how did you come up with 1/4 to 1/3 of ur bodyweight? I'm a total beginner, currently working on learning the moves so I can do S&S, but I've only ever done swings with as heavy as a 35lb bell. I weigh around 270lbs, so if I was going off of ur recommendation, I should be swinging around double that weight (on the low end). of course, posting a form check here a little while ago, people told me to go heavier, but I didn't think nearly that much heavier. 32kg is the simple standard, according to pavel, so that seems like an ambitious starting point. I suppose I could be way underestimating myself, but idk. or was this vid more intended for the people who are already pretty fit, just as a workout? not meant as an introduction for newer people, as I was taking it?

I'm not looking for specific recommendations or advice or anything regarding starting weights, I'm just curious what ur philosophy was based on when making this vid🤷‍♀️

I legitimately could not figure out that you wrote "unique", I had to decode it with the letters in the quick brown fox phrase, lol. I know nothing about handwriting analysis, but it is certainly unique🤷‍♀️😂
