Through working with beginners and teaching proper swing technique I have found some useful tips to ensuring success:
- Keep chest big and bowed.
- Avoid rounded shoulders and keep back flat by keeping shoulders pinned and pulled back throughout movement.
- Keep abs tight and squeeze mid-section as hip snap drives bell from the bottom of the lift.
- Focus on hip snap. Keep heels in contact with the ground. Drive from heels and explode through hips.
- Keep arms and shoulders out of the lift. Let your glutes and hamstrings do the work, let the bell float and don’t worry about how high it goes.
I hope this helps and encourages you to try the swing if you haven’t. Let me know what tips you have had success with.
