► 90 Days Of Kettlebells - bit.ly/90days-of-kettlebells The Kettlebell Overhead Press is a staple in almost every kettlebell workout. Learning the basics to bring the kettlebell in the top fixation is a must for everybody who takes kettlebell-training more seriously. In this video, we serve you a beginner's guide to help you learn the double handed and single handed press. We also cover briefly the most important mobility aspects in overhead movements. - Gregory
Great explanation of the proper and safe techniques for overhead presses. Also what a great routine with the 3 exercises combined together! Just what I needed ! Thanks so much Lebe
Really interested in seeing how far i can take a single 16kg kettlebell before i need to upgrade the weight. Low energy days are bilateral. High energy days are unilateral.
Thanks for excellent video, specially mostly trainers explain the techniques but breathing is very important part thanks for that , what I like the most about this video that you have done everything under your dog’s supervision and support for last few minutes he is like “he is doing everything as I told him “ 🐕🦺 is very sweet, Thanks once again for helpful and informative video
Hi Gregory, thank you for your videos. It's been really helpful to a beginner like me. I have a question, I did an overhead press with my 20lbs KB the other day. I could do the double handed one just fine, but am not strong enough to lift it single handedly. Would you recommend getting a lighter one for single handed use or sticking with the weight I have? Thanks again!
Video suggestion - I'd really appreciate a deep look at bell/horn contact points while holding in the rack and overhead positions. Even in these static positions, I experience bruising and discomfort. In addition to position, is gear suggested (wrist wraps, for example)? Perhaps it's my 198cm height, long forearms and thin wrists which are problematic, but I'd like to find a solution to this before trying anything dynamic such and cleans and jerks. I've tried hard style bells and even bought 3 different competition bells to see if they'd "fit" me better.
Thanks for sharing Steven! I see your point and anthropometrics can sometimes differ the way people engage with kettlebells. Maybe your problem can be solved easily. Have you ever heard of the terms „hand insertion“ and „hook grip“? - Gregory
The hand insertion is the moment you switch the kettlebell from your finger grip in the hook grip. This technique bypasses your palm and racks the kettlebell in its most efficient position. The next step would be the proper way to rack the kettlebell on the iliac crest on your hip; the so called "rack position". I talk about it in detail in this video: ruclips.net/video/ExLymPrIhBQ/видео.html I hope this helps! - Gregory
Plams facing your ear (thumbs pointing back) allows for a proper and full extension with a "stacked on all joints" approach at the lockout. The kettlebell will pull laterally down on the elbow joint; away from your body allowing for skelettal support and therefore enabling maximum efficiency. I hope this helps! - Gregory
Soft "th"... on "thoracic," not a a harder "t" sound. I will implement that stick stretch daily going forward. I really like your contribition to kettlebell mastery. Thx for all you do.

I'm gonna tell everyone coach Gregory called me stupid. 😁 (K.I.S.S.)
I was almost doing them right 😄. Thx, Gregory. I've been enjoying the kettlebell and feeling better and stronger than ever. Seriously. 👏👊💪
Great job! Glad to be of service! - Gregory

You're welcome Robert! - Gregory
Excellent tutorial. Loved the progression from the warmups
5-10 min warmup with light clubbells is great for shoulder mobility.
Awesome. I do this exercise often but I am not a hundred on how to perform it good even done it for 6 months. Can't wait for the episode
I hope the video will serve you well! - Gregory
Excellent prep and instruction.
thank you Gregory I was looking for this guide
Great video and explanation thank you.

Really like your videos, you style, your way of explanation, your vibe, brother!👍🏼
Awesome! Thank you! - Gregory

Try a lighter one. SH press is more demanding and requires a different technique (especially to reach a clean lockout position). - Gregory

@@lebe-stark I've watched a few videos on hand insertion, but not hook grip in the context of kettlebells. Still looking :)
The hand insertion is the moment you switch the kettlebell from your finger grip in the hook grip. This technique bypasses your palm and racks the kettlebell in its most efficient position. The next step would be the proper way to rack the kettlebell on the iliac crest on your hip; the so called "rack position".

How much of a difference is it, at the top of the press, the palms of your hands facing towards your ear vs. Palms forward like a barbell?
Plams facing your ear (thumbs pointing back) allows for a proper and full extension with a "stacked on all joints" approach at the lockout. The kettlebell will pull laterally down on the elbow joint; away from your body allowing for skelettal support and therefore enabling maximum efficiency. I hope this helps! - Gregory
Soft "th"... on "thoracic," not a a harder "t" sound. I will implement that stick stretch daily going forward. I really like your contribition to kettlebell mastery. Thx for all you do.
Thanks for pointing out correction in my pronounciation! Glad to be of service! - Gregory
What KB exercise would you suggest to hit the traps?
I would opt in for the snatch. - Gregory
