   Bottoms up press is definitely my weakest!

   Hi Jason,
   these are some great press variations! The bottom up press is very good for grip strength, but with the other presses it really works the wrist and forearm from all sites and ankles. And not only that, e.g. the inside press (bottom back) or how you call it, made my anterior deltoid work very hard.
   Great post, thanks.
   Regards
   Sven

   I love last weeks on three part “why your kettle bell won’t swing.” As I was bell’n the other night I watched my windmill in my complex. It is bad. I would like to see some ideas on getting the core more flexible to better be able to bend on the windmill. Awesome videos, keep em comin.

   @ Dan, That’s a 16kg or 35lb kettlebell. Competition kettlebells share the same dimensions regardless of weight.

   @ Callie,

   Was your bottoms=up waeker than the other leverage presses?

   Hey Sven,

   I like the Bottoms-up presses because they’re a very uniqe exercise that heavily involves your grip while pressing or pushing. Usually grip training is reserved only to pulling exercises.

   Thanks for visiting!

   @ Matt,

   I have one more video for that series, I’m glad you like it.

   I would have to see your windmill form before commenting. Make sure you’re creasing at the hips and not just bending to the side, as in a side bend. Send in a video if you can and I’ll take a look.

    Great stuff,
    We’re going to do some of it in school today with the kid’s. The kid’s I train at school think I’m a genius, I guess I’ll have to tell them about you sooner or later !!

    Wow, what a great resource this page is! Im in using your vids and advice to spread the kettlebell-word to my colleagues in swedish security service. Weve been doin kb for a while now but your never ending river of knowledge and new excercises are just great for keeping motivation high.
    Thank you, really!

    Hey I have problems keeping my shoulder down when presing and putting the bell up in a straight line.
    Do you have any vids for help with that? They would be greatly appreciated.

    Thanks
