Hey, I’m just this minute writing an article about the dumbbell swing for my strength training website, www.gubernatrix.co.uk. It’s part of a series on my favourite strength exercises.
I’ve never seen someone do a swing this way, with the split jerk landing, but it makes total sense with a weight as heavy as that.
I think this will be a good clip to link to, to show people a different way to do the swing. Cheers!
Do drop by my site if you have a moment. I’d love to know what you think.
Right, off to have a look round the rest of your site…
