Kettlebells on History Channel

[Ford Prefect]

So there I was in my Memorial Day gloom splitting my time between watching a show about the Russian Mafia on the History Channel and watching the pouring rain and 50 degree temperatures outside my window. When to my surprise they had a segment about some Russians staying in shape in the pen in the 50's, and the guys were doing some kettlebell lifts. They did swings differently than Pavel shows.

I caught a glimpse of the Russian Mafia thing but missed the KB part… how were they different if words can explain…

They didn't bring the weight all the way over head before snapping the KB over their wrist. They only brought it slightly above parrallel to the ground and then snapped the KB over and back down.
