CrossFit Annie swings a 70lb kettlebell:

We need to work on Annie's technique before she injures herself!!! I look forward to meeting and working with all who plan to attend. Matt
Matt, maybe we can get a video an send it to her -- or maybe she has already corrected her form. I'm not sure how old this photo is. =)
There is a good discussion here:

I don't see the problem with her swing. Is it the difference between the american and russian swing?
Yes. She is doing the "american" swing. I don't believe there is any reason to take a swing over the head. If you want to go overhead just do the snatch. The height of the swing should be purely generated by the hip snap alone. In order to get overhead with the swing like Annie one must use the arms, shoulder, and back too. This is clearly evident in her pictures. Hope to see you Saturday Joe. We can discuss this further at that time.
