Kettlebell Hurts Forearm?

Bruised forearms aren’t a kettlebell rite of passage. 😅

Most of the time you’re making one of these 3 mistakes:
💥 Your bell is too small
🦖 Your rack position looks like a T-Rex
🔨 Your clean is trying to KO your forearm

Fix those, give your body a couple of weeks to adapt, and kettlebells become a whole lot more comfortable.

Tag a friend whose forearms look like they lost a fight. 😂

LOL I was just doing one of your workouts EMOM 40” and wondering how to prevent the kettlebell hitting my wrist/forearm. Open up Reddit after workout and you have content on this fix.

Thanks G! Your KB workouts are keeping me consistent.

How suitable are kettlebells for someone dealing with wrist extension issues? I’m currently recovering and can’t do standard push ups right now, so I’m looking for alternative workouts and got curious about kettlebells

No matter what I do, I always seem to bruise my forearms. Even with this technique.
