 If you use your hips as the primary source of force excretion, even in the "crossfit swing", wouldn't you still get the same benefits? The squat portion of the movement isn't driving the kettlebell as much as the hips are. If you focus on pushing you butt back before lowering, then thrusting your hips forward (rather than up and down--as you're saying), the kettlebell will float above your head much easier.

 Hey there, I train CrossFit competitively and I understand where you come from about keeping more of a Horizontal Plane on the back, but I don't get why you don't want people to raise the KB above their heads. If you are trying to achieve a higher target you will have to exert more force through the hips as well as engage the shoulders. Thoughts?
