Kettlebell Sots Press
December 17, 2008 by admin
Probably one of the most frequently asked questions within kettlebell training is “What size kettlebell should I start with?”
There’s no easy answer but I always ensure people that they will never outgrow their light kettlebells. There is always SOMETHING that you can do with your lighter kettlebells and in all honesty, some of my favorite kettlebell training sessions are free-style sessions with a light kettlebell.
I don’t have any set or rep scheme, I just do what my body and kettlebell feel like doing. I’ll talk more about this in future post.
Also, you can work on more advanced variations with your lighter kettlebells. For example, pressing a 16kg kettlebell overhead isn’t difficult for Pamela at all but, she ups the intensity and difficulty by working on a more advanced press variation such as the Sots Press.
Follow along with the video below and give it a try. Let us know how it goes.
Every time I try this, I soil my sots.

That squat press is great and a good reason to keep lighter kettlebells on hand.

hmm, i like it never tried it with a KB, i’ll give it a go 2moro.
Thnx
Hey Alan,
I’ll write more about those soon. I’ll film some too. Thanks for posting.
Jason Struck is a funny guy.
Definately give it a try this week, it’s amazing the difference to a regular press.
J Struck, I always enjoy the humor.
[...] you remember last week’s kettlebell training video, Pam showed a kettlebell drill that can be done with one light kettlebell. This week Pam highlights [...]
