Stacked Kettlebell 56kg BUP

I recently started doing some stacked kettlebells bottoms up presses, here's my first offering of a 24kg bell atop of a 32kg bell.

The stacked BUP is more difficult than a regular BUP in that you spend more time getting set up with the bell in the lifting hand and also that you need to do a reverse curl/clean and press with the topside kettlebell and also move across your body with it.

I think having someone else put it on top for you is rather unmanly, so unless you only have one hand then don't bother!

To practice this lift I'll be working on my reverse clean and press (for the opposite side) and stacked repping with lighter bells.

My other observation with this lift is that you can't allow any 'tilt' on the kettlebell otherwise it will end up on your head, so in turn it seems to take the lift out of the normal groove of the BUP and puts some extra stress on the wrists.
