Heavy KB Open Handed Press

60kg Heavy KB Open Handed Press





Jimmy has been training his heavy 60kg kettlebell again and has put up this video of what he calls 'Weird kettlebell press'

This looks very impressive to me with the initial clean and half flip (so the ball is resting in the palm of your hand) and then the press with the flip at the top.

Which takes a lot of co-ordination.

Exciting stuff, as I know how difficult this is with a much lighter kettlebell.

Pressing the kettlebell with the ball in the palm of your hand opens the hand out dramatically and brings about a new dimension which I believe can aid all round pressing ability as it forces the use of different muscles out of the groove and also adds instability.

I also think this method of pressing a kettlebell could be of particular use to Shot putters as it mimics the open hand.
