no but was thinking more of a youtube clip that would teach me how to do it. i liked the stuff you linked a few pages back. i think the movements i'm having trouble with is the clean and the lockout according to steve cotters lingo... basically anything that involves flipping the bell. how many would you say i try first 50 swings a day? i've got a 12kg and a 16kg. i don't lift weights nor cardio much but i play soccer once in awhile still i'm not in the best shape.
Work into snatches by moving the kettlebell higher every swing. In fact, that's how I used to start my high-rep snatches all the time - even when I had worked up to a 100.

Cotter and Pavel both teach the clean the same way, starting from the rack position.

In the absence of any specific goals, you can aim for the RKC program minimum:
Twice a week alternate sets of swings with easy jogging for recovery for 12 minutes
Do your swings to a comfortable stop. Once you are well conditioned you may go all-out occasionally
"Shake out" the lactic acid and tension from your muscles when jogging. Relax! The purpose of jogging is active recovery, not more conditioning.
Twice a week, do turkish get-up singles, switching arms after each rep, for 5 minutes.
Focus on perfect technique, not on reps. Don't count you get-up reps, and don't try to top them!
Arrange the weekly plan any way you want, e.g., Mon., Thurs.-Swings; Tues., Fri.-get-ups or Mon., Thurs.-get-ups; Tues., Sat.-swings. If you want to add an extra swing or get-up day, go ahead-make your day.
Start each workout with 10 minutes of face-the-wall squats, halos, and pumps.
Unless you are an experienced strength athlete, do no other lifting.
