Mistake

The arms are stopped by the body and the kettlebell/weight wants to travel further which results in bobbing of the kettlebell at the end of the backswing. Bobbing is a short jerky movement, in this case, the kettlebell moves up toward the buttocks and back down as you pull it out.

Solution

Make sure to keep the kettlebell as an extension of the arm by inserting and pushing it to the back. You control and direct the weight rather than letting it just flop. The difference is that instead of letting the arms impact the body, they are inserted between the legs and slide across the belly rather than be abruptly stopped by the body.

Description

Bobbing is a cause for friction in the hand, which turns into excessive calluses or blisters and ripped hands.
