@jmhinnen as hard as it is to believe your lower back is strengthening.i know your post is two months old.

[jmhinnen]

If I'm feeling tense in my lower back from doing these double k-bell swings; does that mean 1) my stance is too wide, 2) my lower back is strengthening, which I doubt, 3) my technique is just bad and I need to adjust?

@richp860 or study A&P and biomechanics. LOL....

@SunElai heavy kettlebell cleans, renegade rows will help with bigger arms.... and weighted pullups and chin ups.

@Honken Thanks! You too! Very nice to build with somebody on youtube and it not end up in a war of wits. I can get used to this.

@richp860

You make a valid point! I can name a few famous coaches that encourage not looking forward, though I (personally) believe that if good form is being practiced and the lifter is experienced the risk of losing form is negligible. Looking up is a big no-no, but that's another story.

Thank you for a nice discussion, best of luck in training! :)

@Honken Neutral spine by my definition means keeping your ENTIRE spine in alignment -- otherwise triggering a threat response from your brain, having adverse affects on a variety of things. My friend (training for his RKC II) told me that looking forward is now frowned upon due to the recent emergence of Z-Health and its principles. But he also said that nobody was being corrected at the certification, so I guess that leaves things at a stand still. I can completely testify to its benefits.

@richp860

Neutral spine refers to keeping the lumbar spine in a position where the hips aren't titled forward nor backwards. The position of the cervical spine is irrelevant. Excessive extension isn't good, no. But he's looking forward. I haven't heard of many people breaking their backs by looking forward.

RKC/Hardstyle teaches the girevik to look forward.
