Lucy,
Some kind words on BARCH Richmond Instagram from Will Taylor. Will has quickly become a special friend in Richmond, and Mom and I love his gym.
“If I am half the fitness level of these 2 at their age I will be a very happy man!”
Before we left for our US visit, our Thursday workout featured the ‘American Kettle Bell’ swing, which I am trying to demonstrate below. Notice the BARCH Richmond No Ego Training and T4TG Austin branding (on my shirt) – two fantastic gyms!
This YouTube guy does it better:
In case you are wondering:
Unlike the Russian swing, the American swing requires a lifter to end with the weight in the overhead position rather than stopping at chest/head level. The added overhead component requires a great deal of shoulder mobility and scapular stabilization. Because American swings require a longer range of motion, one could argue that they’re more taxing overall and are better for conditioning. (ref: Barbend)
Go ‘merica!
