In all of my time using kettlebells, the Overhead Press is definitely one of my favourite moves. I watched this video to improve my pressing form and wasn't disappointed - the instructions were clear and concise. If anyone wants to add an extra challenge, I recommend doing 1 or 2 squats after finishing each press.
Although when you do that perfect snatch, punching through at the end and the kettlebell just slowly rests on the forearm without banging it. Man, that's so satisfying. 😍
I’m getting into the last half of the “perfect path” from your clean and press nerd math course. These reminders are very helpful as I venture into the heavier KB weights. Thanks as always!!!
Interesting. I don't remember a mention of squeezing the hand that is out to the side. This is the nice thing about these videos, is catching little items that I don't recall being mentioned before.
I always felt a little unstable when opening to press especially with my right arm, but that 45 degree angle grip was the key! I immediately felt much stable with this approach. Thank you sir!
FYI Mark the basic KettleBell 8 is skipped, missing or hidden from the Basic Kettlebell list. I like the this series, I believe it would help someone starting in kettlebells. Thanks.
Fantastic. It's amazing how much the quads fire in an OHP. Thinking of going up in weight for snatches and I reckon these volume cycles of press with the new weight might be a good place to start 👍
Ive experienced pain during this exercise, so im watching videos to better understand technique. Two videos i watched before this stressed "pack your shoulder" but never really explained what that means. You can "pack your shoulder" up, in, or down, & any combination of those 3, & those all can't be correct. This video made no mention of this. So what is "pack your shoulder" all about?
What’s happening with mid/lower traps in the press? I’m finding my upper trap firing with the ohp and developing a tension/pain. Are you depressing and retracting the scapula as you press?
I’ve noticed some people open the shoulder and press (like you showed), but I’ve also seen instructors teach where they don’t open the shoulder and instead press straight up and rotate palm forward as the arm goes up. And I’ve seen people say both versions are correct. So confusing!
Thank you for the video, it allowed me to correct the defaults of my technique, how many sets and reps do you consider mandatory before moving to heavier weights ?
i'm doing a clean and press move at the moment but one thing bothers me. when I have the kettlebell in one hand the other hand seems to lose bloodflow. is this acceptable and somewhat normal? example: start position/clean/rack position/overhead press right hand = purple and tingly left hand (especially if its out straight like in your video). any advice?
Shake it. I use to have something similar with very heavy weights. I shake it a few times. You may be holding excess tension somewhere. Shaking it can send the relax signal to muscles
There is a very specific route where your shoulders won’t “click”. I prefer the straight upward method from lebe stark. Maybe not so engaging for the core but more safe to me.

Ironically I am starting a new clean and press cycle today. Always good to have a refresher.
It's almost like starting over, which I kind of am. Thank you.
Thanks for basic breakdowns, again. Fantastic as usual.
Thank you very much for this great series. Appreciate such detailed explanation!
Love the attention to detail
Exceptional instruction. Subbed right away.
Thanks, learning the fundamentals and your content is super valuable
Happy to hear that
Apt and precise.
Brilliant.
Just starting out. Your videos are excellent and essential for me. Thank you.
Many thanks for this video, I want to build my next strength training around kb one hand press, so this video is very useful. Great job as always!

I will check. Thank you
Will you check and see if it’s there now? Anytime you see an error like this. Please reach out.
@@MarkWildman It is there now, 14 item on the list but Kettlebell 8 now shows. I will reach out if I see something else.
thanks for your content bro
Fistbump.
Thank you so much

Strong plan
Thanks ❤!
Just starting out here.When the kettlebell is pressed overhead….. do you go as high as you can…or keep your shoulder somewhat held back??
Another good video as always. Hey, Mark. Have you seen the Fit fighter? I was wondering what you think about it.
is that a youtube channel or an instagram page
i see now. they look like body hardening bags from kung fu.

This is the basics. Both versions are correct
Great video but how do you engage a particular muscle i.e. the glutes, please and thank you.
I find myself reaching at the top, even with the glute squeeze and proper positioning my SI joint area hurts the next day
???
Adding sets instead of reps is an interesting thought
This is great. Please please please develop an app with workouts, training videos and timer integrated.
Kajabi pretty much does
@@JamieHaleyy I have several of his programs which are great, but Kajabi is garbage
Thank you for the video, it allowed me to correct the defaults of my technique, how many sets and reps do you consider mandatory before moving to heavier weights ?
You can put 3 sets 3L/3R at the beginning of your workout and move to clean and press. Clean and press is really where the benefits get better.
@@MarkWildman Thank you for your reply ! :)
Does the hips stay stationary throughout? Is it bad technique to thrust the hips forward during the press?
if the rack is good and you hit lockout, you can get there anyway you want that doesn't get you hurt

I that doesn’t work, ask a doctor
Thank you, will have that in mind
Why is it necessary to open ?
Building spiral motion. Which connects to the clean.
Cant figure out why, but kettlebell OHP hurts my shoulders, but dumbbell doesn't. 🤷♂️

could do with some rain there
It just poured.
