Very interesting information on an EMG study of the Kettlebell swings with kime (hardstyle). The researchers reported that the addition of kime to the swing mostly affected the abdominal muscles, with the largest increases in activation occurring in the external oblique muscles (101% increase in the right external obliques and 140% increase in the left). The internal obliques had a huge role as well. The obliques are a functional unit pair….or should be:) . Once again, a reason why I focus on the obliques for everything. I suggest reading this study: The study: Kettlebell swing, snatch and bottoms-up carry: Back and hip muscle activation, motion, and low back loads, by McGill and Marshall, Journal of Strength and Conditioning Research, 2012
