This is a place to share greentexts and witness the confounding life of Anon. If you're new to the Greentext community, think of it as a sort of zoo with Anon as the main attraction.

Be warned:

If you find yourself getting angry (or god forbid, agreeing) with something Anon has said, you might be doing it wrong.

The point of kettlebell swings is to swing back behind your legs, stretching most of your lower posterior chain (really helps if you're trying to improve your deadlifts). You could use a barbell (Olympic pole is the standardized barbell), but I was imagining someone standing up like doing a deadlift, swinging the bar forward, then right back into their legs and hurting themselves.
