Swing day today in the Program Minimum and once again was able to eek out 160 swings in 8 rounds of 20. Was really focussing on tightening the glutes; hip snap and bracing the abs. There are so many things to be mindful of in such a simple movement. I was thinking that if you were to devote as much time as needed for mastery on the swing, you would be spending quite some time in doing so.
It is as Dan John and others have said - the Program Minimum is sheer brilliance in it's simplicity. The 80/20 rule really applies here. You get your fat loss, joint mobility and hypertrophy all in one. The phasic and tonic muscles are stimulated in a manner that is relatively risk free when it comes to injury. Still it pays to be mindful of finishing off a set and parking the kettlebell in a safe manner.
