the "systems check protocol"
Everyone's hips are different and I try to steer clear of giving people specific measurements for foot positioning like: "open you feet "X" degrees and have your feet "X" inches apart."
Again, for the simple reason your hip structure is not the same as mine or "Grandma Betty as Brett Jones would put it.
But, I have come up with a simple setup routine I call the "Systems Check Protocol".
Step 1:
Start by standing one full foot behind the kettlebell (Literally put one foot behind the other). This will pretty much put you the optimal distance behind the bell.
Step 2:
Stand with your feet hip width with your feet straight ahead. Next, open your heels as if you're putting yourself in a "pigeon footed" position.
Then simply externally rotate and open your feet. Voila! There you have it. This will work for 99% of people.
The best part is--it's repeatable!
Enjoy!
