Its easy to build muscle with kettlebells in a small space. Getting heavier weights mean for many people larger diameter bells. When not using comp bells, this can cause people to have to adapt their form to a wider stance sometimes. 


Something that many dont think about is the width that you have to have with large kettlebells to clean and then squat . I feel you should be able to keep your feet in the same area for clean and squat and or  Girevoy Sport long cycle (Clean and Jerk)

The Bells should be as close together as they can be  during the backswing without bouncing off of each other. (touching is ok, I like to think of them as magnets)

Keep your feet grounded and keeping knees pushed slightly out by uing glutes for more then just hip extension (external rotation of the femur as well) this will give you space for the bells to pass  while keeping your stance wide close enough to use hips and quads powerfully . ( dont think sumo squat. )

 Focus on the knees so they arent shaky or moving inward too much.



5 sets of 5. Next time try 6 .
 succeed?
