Are one-handed kettlebell swings better?
The one-handed Hardstyle swing is a great tool that builds explosive strength, powerful grip, and impressive glutes.

What muscles do one-handed kettlebell swings work?
Strength training: As one-handed kettlebell swings activate into the core, hamstrings, quads, glutes, back, deltoids, and arm muscles, they boast a wealth of whole body core and muscle-training benefits—essential to any solid kettlebell workout regime.
