Subject: Master the Perfect Kettlebell Press Groove


You have practiced your press for some time and finally found the pressing groove that works perfectly for you. However, while you are able to stick with it with light and medium weights, when you press heavy things start falling apart.

The kettlebell challenges you in an arm-wrestling match, meaning that its weight, displaced from its handle, always tries to bring your wrist into extension. If that happens, you will lose tension and control of the kettlebell, and the game is over.

You also need to shorten as much as possible the lever that the handle has against your wrist, and the way to do it is sliding the handle as deep as possible into the very heel of your palm.

Then you must crush the handle and keep fighting the weight of the kettlebell by forcing your wrist into flexion, throughout the entire press.

The Stacked Press is a great variation of the press that teaches you how to do it.
