*By functional I mean you can comfortably swing or carry it **bestgym.equipment** around as one would expect of a kettlebell weight. By versatile I mean the protective coating does not prevent attaching magnetic micro-plates to increase the weight, so, for example, a 35 pound kettlebell can be increased by up to 5 pounds in weight or possibly a bit more by attaching magnetic micro-plates.*
Mark WIldman and MindPump both provide good basic instructions for doing a kettlebell press, but you've added much more detailed information that will serve me and others well. Thanks.
Kettlebell presses have been the most challenging lift for me to progress in. I realize now my form was bad. After I used the tips in this video I was instantly doing more reps with a heavier weight than I was able to get overhead before. Thank you so much
This is SO what I needed today. I've been over-using the shoulder (not loading it right) and it has been causing a problem. This gives me some tips and cues to work on under lighter weight to get things back to where they need to be. Great channel!
I thought I was military pressing with correct form until I began experiencing worsening elbow pain. Watching through your video has corrected my form perfectly. Thanks for all the great content!
Thank you for all of the great videos! I just got into kettlebell about a year and a half ago and your videos have been an amazing help, along with Mark Wildman and Gregory from Lebe Stark. I'm definiely a kettlebell lifer. It's the first thing I've found that makes me want to work out. I look forward to honing my technique and getting stronger with proper form over time. Cheers!
Great explanation of the mechanics. I'm struggling a bit with my delts overpowering my shoulder moving down. Also engaging the lat in the press has been such a foreign concept to me, haha. But I'm learning & enjoy rediscovering strength in this mobility. Thanks brotha 🙏🏾😁
For me too , it's too annoying Learning a movement is difficult enough Stressful music is so stupid and I guess for the American market , people there always seem to need some action to watch I like the videos without music more 👍 🇪🇺🇰🇿
OK, I carefully followed your advice on my kettlebell presses today and had to ask a few questions. First, tightly clenching the unused fist and holding it as you do really does make the press effort much easier to achieve and less fatiguing for the same weight. I knew that maintaining good core and glute tension was an essential component of the press, but why does squeezing the unused hand make such a difference? Second, could you identify the key muscles impacted and strengthened by the kettlebell press? Obviously the front and lateral delts. But I can feel my upper back muscles (traps) growing significantly as well. Lats?
Thanks for the tutorial. I've always pressed the weight straight up. How come we don't press the weight up in a straight motion and it has to be a circular motion? I'm asking because I was taught to press the weight straight up.
Because the shoulder joint is designed to press optimally that way. It allows the shoulder to sit in its socket and the deltoids can recruited to it's full capacity
Does your pec & lat end up stretched directly the from bottom of the clean or is it an aditionnal step you take after the clean? Do you get what i try to say? Do you manage to recive the bell in a low position or do you lower «strech» it once cleaned? Im curently trying both and i am not sure about the best way to go... Nice vid btw ( :
Im running into the issue that my shoulders hurt from KB presses but not dumbbell presses. Its not a huge deal, because i can just do my pressses with a dumbbell, but it is annoying because it prevents me from doing many complexes. Im curious if this is a common issue, or if im just odd! 😂 Ive tried varying my technique, but i cant figure it out.
@@HardstyleKettlebellPro That's what I have thought, but how do I find someone who knows what they're doing? Is there a database of instructors that I can search?
@@HardstyleKettlebellPro I think it's because Gregory at Lebe Strong calls this movement a "mistake everyone makes" even adding that fist facing forward is "inefficient", So they probably assumed this is hard style and his instructions were competition style

Thanks - "pull the elbow down to start" cue is a great tip - my press is feeling more like a lat than a shoulder exercise now.

This is one of, if not THE, best vids I've seen explaining this exercise. Thanks a lot! 🤜🤛
I would be interested in also seeing a double press video
By far my go to channel for kb technique. You do great work Coach
Thanks!
TY 🙏
Thanks !!!

Thanks Coach Luka
Awesome video and great background tunes! Thanks for the instruction!

💪🏽💪🏽
Thanks for the coaching
Glad to see this guy still doing it :D
First woo! Awesome channel, content always informative and well shown! 👍👍👍
Always great content and coaching buddy!
Great video.
Starting the KB below collar bone seems to activate the lats hard
It does!
I’m going to try these coaching tips today-thank you!! Ps-do you also appreciate Hardstyle?? If so we just became brothers!!!
Excellent!
Salut ! Merci pour l’info !
Great instruction, thank you very much. Suggestion: no music on the background please during talking, huge distraction🎸🤯
For me too , it's too annoying
Learning a movement is difficult enough

I like the videos without music more 👍

1. Clenching the opposite fist creates "irradiation" throughout the body. Meaning everything is stronger together.
2. Prime movers: delts, tris, pecs, lats, biceps, forearm, grip.
Secondary stabilizers: midsection, low back, glutes, legs, feet...everything else.
Is there a reason people shrug at the top of a barbell military press and not a KB press?
Should not be done with barbell either

@@HardstyleKettlebellPro Thanks for taking the time to reply. I'll correct my ways :-)

I will the bell down once received in the rack position to stretch the lat/pec. This is called the "loaded clean"

Hmm... not sure why. You'd need to get assessed ideally by a Kettlebell Instructor or Movement Specialist
@@HardstyleKettlebellPro That's what I have thought, but how do I find someone who knows what they're doing? Is there a database of instructors that I can search?
I offer it online. Email me at Hardstylekbmtl@gmail.com
👍
I'm curious, are those Power Jumpers hanging on the rack next to you? And do you implement those in training as well?
Do you mean the elactic bands? Yes we definitely use them. Assisted Pullups, Resisted Crawling, Banded Swings...
@@HardstyleKettlebellPro gotcha, thank you for the reply.
A 2:59. Exactement mon erreur : est de possible que ce mouvement mette énormément de pression indue sur le coude ?
Certainement. Mais cela dépend aussi de d'autres facteurs.
@@HardstyleKettlebellPro vraiment hâte qu’on puisse se voir .
Sport stlye is straight up hardstlye out to the side then up ? Is this correct
??
