Kettlebell Quick Lifts as Subtitute for Olympic-style Weightlifting
Many people (especially older trainees, of which we have many) simply do not have the flexibility to weightlift safely. Some of them may develop that flexibility in time; many others will not. In the meantime, what can they do safely?

The kettlebell two-handed swing, one-handed swing, clean & press, clean & jerk, and snatch are viable alternatives.

They should be taught in that order.

This is an awesome and very substantive introduction to kbell technique.
