In this episode of Kettlebell Corner, hosts Jeremiah Waylon and Roger Parks discuss the complexities of kettlebell form, challenging the notion of a 'perfect' form. They discuss the variability of good form, the importance of context, and the myths surrounding kettlebell training. The conversation emphasizes that good form is not absolute but rather a habit that evolves with practice and understanding. They also explore the role of pain as an indicator of form issues and the necessity of adapting techniques to individual needs.
