I just started doing kettlebell, I bought a 15 lb. (golds gym, cast/w a kind of foam around the bottom) anywho, I am following Skogg's presently and I even looked on youtube, My goal is to get good form before I start tossing around a heavier one, which proved to be good advice when trying to switch hands on an upswing and it went flying. However I'm having the most problems with the clean. Swing clean, clean from deadlift position, doesn't matter, same problem.

I'm not so much banging but the bell seems to hurt and sit right up on the back of my wrist. Which also causes my wrist to not stay perfectly straight when in the rack position. Is the pain from my bieng new? the kettlebell too small, or most likely I'm still really doing it wrong? I do twist when coming through legs and am able to have it in open hand position at collarbone. Thats also hard, what do women with boobs do with them? is rack for us to the side of the boob?

    That's heartning, I think maybe i will take my kettlebell to PT with me tomorrow and ask him to critique my form. My only problem will be incorporating it with my normal lifting and bieng able to rest muscles. Kettlebell seems more full body.
