In this episode of Kettlebell Corner, Jeremiah Waylon and Roger Parks pull back the curtain on some of the most misleading kettlebell advice circulating online. If you’ve ever been told to “just swing like this” without any explanation, you’re not alone—and you’re not being coached correctly.
The duo breaks down the dangers of “coaching by shape,” where movement is reduced to visual mimicry instead of rooted in principles like sequencing, timing, and force production. They unpack why leaning back during the kettlebell swing isn’t a mistake—but a misunderstood requirement for optimal hip extension and bell trajectory.
This episode is a must-listen for anyone tired of oversimplified training tips and ready to understand the why behind kettlebell movements. It’s time to train smarter, not louder.
Tune in, question what you’ve seen online, and get back to fundamentals that actually work.
