SWING:

RACK:

LOCK:
Kettlebell Swings are a great motion for the posterior chain -hips,hams and back. At high reps they are a workout in themselves- and you keep your shins.

You can swing heavier kettlebells
into the rack (crook of your bent arm) than you can curl, and
comfortably perform lunges and front squats with weights you respect-
and no power rack needed.

Kettlebells lockout and balance overhead easily. You can focus during heavy overhead squats and Turkish Getups .

What is kettlebell training like ?

To get a feel for kettlebell workouts, try heavy swings (whole page discussion here)

?
After swings, consider the more technical 1arm snatch below
With the kettlebell version, the legs and hips are more engaged than the dumbell version ;
Again, the narrower kettlebell swings between the legs without worry of
clipping the shins, and the overhand grip keeps the back and traps in
play. It doesn't sound like much, but with whole body engaged in
driving the weight up, advanced users routinely perform 40+ reps with
70lb kettlebells. The shape differences between a
kettlebell and dumbbell create similar advantages in the rack position
(check out the front squat above ) and the overhead lockout (eg
Overhead Squat and Turkish Getup).
Kettlebell Snatches:

A hybrid of swings and presses; Almost a full body workout by themselves- very aerobic.

Kettlebell Presses: Presses with kettlebells
involved a larger range of motion than dumbells and involve an
additional torque that exercises the rotator cuff muscles.
