Doing this tomorrow. I'll definitely subscribe. I sold all my equipment except my KBs. I'm upgrading to a multi gym which is coming next week but I won't be using it till I prep the area that it'll be used in so I'll become more KB savvy over the next few months. Do you have any other exercises for other muscle groups using the KB's?
The kettelbell pushup will probably destroy your shoulders sooner or later. It pulls back way too far, not good for the gleno humeral articulation (with the range you're showing.)
Good point. However, it depends. If you have a previous shoulder injury, then yes definitely avoid deep push ups altogether. If not, then as long as your elbows are tucked toward your sides, you can go deep with controlled movement and your wrists in neutral as shown in the video. In any case, there is a degree of risk involved, as there is with most exercises. If the risk-reward ratio doesn't make sense for you or if you feel pain, don't do it/stop. For deep push ups (which are common, hence the invention of push up handles), the benefit is increased muscle activation for strength and hypertrophy, and the risk is of course shoulder impingement. If you have been training long enough, you should know your limits. If you are new, it's best to stick to the basics.
@@SETFORSET Yeap, my shoulder are now pretty messed up (I'm almost 60) but I keep training pretty well just avoiding some exercises or having them limited in the range of motion (such as blocking the barbell before It reaches the chest for the bench press or simply replacing It with push up variations, elbows tucked close to the body as you mentioned). But I think that shoulders are sooner or later at great risk of chronic injuries if you dip, fly too deep or overstretch the shoulder joints under charge or even use too much weight on your lateral raises, especially with the thumb down (as It was advised for a long time), exposing the supraspinatus to future problems. You have to think for the long run. Believe an old athlete with some regrets.
The main thing is if you are feeling the contraction while performing the exercise. If you have the option to increase the weight I would say go ahead. If you can't increase the weight, experiment with slowing the reps down. Perform negative reps, hold the contraction at the top of the motion for a few seconds before the concentric part of the movement.
I have since moved on to 16kgs but am still not seeing much improvement after 5 months work. I'm currently doing 3 lots of nine reps repeated three times with two mins rest between sets. This only takes 9 mins to complete. Is this enough or could you reccommend a more rigorous routine?
When I say this is the exact video I needed it is litteraly the exact one thanks
This was perfect. Appreciate you 👍🏾
This was the perfect workout I needed. Appreciate y’all
Thank you! More to come.
@@SETFORSET bro what are the weights of those kettlebells
I don’t have room for a bench so I appreciate this video!
Nice routine. Keep pushing with the great work
Great video
Appreciate you
This exercise kicked my ass!!! No joke 🔥🔥
Good job 🌹
great! Thx

Right on! We do, you can check them out here: th-cam.com/play/PLqR98_Ui2of6Vsw6Xdd13cO22L5z5VoTX.html
@@SETFORSET thanks very much!
In the crush grip floor press do you squeeze as hard as possible? Or not quite that hard?
Squeeze the heck out of it! You're going to get more muscle activation and more out of it.
@@SETFORSET Ok. Thx for your help!

@@marchermitte Agree with you 100%. Thanks for sharing your thoughts. Hope people read this.

Is 8kg too light for crush grip floor press? Im not seeing much results after ten weeks.

If you can't increase the weight, experiment with slowing the reps down.

Ok thx. I think I will increase the weight as 8kg is fairly easy for me.
