What common mistake do people make when holding kettlebells?
Most people hold kettlebells incorrectly, similar to how they would hold dumbbells or barbells, which can lead to various issues.

Why does the way kettlebells are held cause wrist problems?
Kettlebells have their weight outside the handle, creating leverage that can bend the wrist back, leading to pain and injuries.

What types of pain can result from improper kettlebell handling?
Improper handling can cause wrist, elbow, shoulder, and back pain, along with developing calluses on the hands.

How should position the kettlebell before lifting it?
Experience lifters are able to rotate the kettlebell in flight and maneuver proper hand insertion from any starting position, but the easiest way to begin is to line the kettlebell up with the handle facing north, away from you, and south towards you.

How do I get the kettlebell into the rack or overhead position correctly?
Slide your palm through the handle's window at an angle, stopping when the handle reaches the heel of your palm.

What advantage does proper kettlebell hold provide during lifting?
A proper grip allows you to control the kettlebell with your whole arm rather than just your hand, enhancing stability and strength.
