I've just finished AA and J Madd highly recommend to do kettlebell swings as accessory.

Maybe I missed the section but why is it a good choice? What will it develop that the standard OP cluster won't?

Thanks

Thanks for giving AA a read!

Grip, core, posterior chain, and (depending how you use it) a conditioning effect. It's the best bang for the buck when it comes to accessories. Also, if you are doing a very Spartan cluster (maybe just SQ and BP) or you even just DL with a lower frequency, heavy swings can do a lot to keep your DL in decent shape.

That being said, swings (nor any accessory) are not essential, especially if you have drills like Apex, Meat-Eater (1 or 2), and BOO in your HIC cluster.

Thanks for the answer.

I sure will incorporate it in my cluster.

Kettlebell swings give more than they take. When you do them correctly (Russian hard style) they make the body move better and increase resilience.
