Exact failure point
Leave kettlebell swing for an easier page if the kettlebell setup or medium space breaks the cue before rep three.

Home fit check
Kettlebell Swing is a better choice when kettlebell is already available, medium space is realistic, and moderate impact will not create extra friction.
