Kettlebell Kneeling Side Press

[@rakssios3458]

found a gem of a channel

[@bryanchrist8876]

Added this in today after my ruck walk. I tried 5 kneeling strict press into 5 side press. Each side, for 5 sets. Felt good. Felt my core working and my shoulders working. Great exercise. Thanks Coach!

[@gustavf.6067]

This is one fun exercise to do and I'm love with it.

[@a.lame.username.]

I'd somehow missed this one... I'm putting in a program right now, it looks excellent.

[@ericwhittington9613]

Love your videos btw. Wish there were coaches like you in my area.

[@salimosman8188]

All good stuff indeed....loving the science behind the lifts...👍

[@asse1112]

Good work Mark!

[@robertlehnert4148]

Pavel helped revive this in PTTP, using a barbell This variation will work well in my low ceiling basement, which is now my Work at Home office.

[@MarkWildman]

i like the kneeling stuff because it can work in lots of small spaces.

[@sboschi]

@@MarkWildman For some reason the side press doesn't seem to help me to lift weight as it puts lots of strain on my shoulder. I think I am keeping my forearm vertical. It seems that rotating the shoulder (turning my hand palm) helps a bit. Is there a right or wrong way of shoulder rotation ?

Thank you Mark!

I am struggeling with the overhead squat.could you provide some input for this issue? 🙂

[@nandobreiter4075]

I also struggle with it and for me, it's an issue with insufficient shoulder and thoracic mobility. What happens if you try a squat with just your arms overhead? Are you able to keep them vertical? I can't. If not, there is a simple exercise I've seen that you can try. Find a long stick about the length of a broom handle. Face a wall, get quite close to it. Hold the stick overhead. You can start with your arms spread in a V position overhead holding the stick. Now slowly descend into a squat and use the wall as a reference to keep your arms and thorax vertical. When you get stuck, stay there and breathe. It can take a few months to be able to squat all the way down like this. Once you master it with your arms in a V position overhead, you can bring your hands closer together and move through the progression again. When you get stuck going down, breathe, and try to find your way a bit lower while keeping your arms overhead and thorax vertical. I did this for about a week and then got distracted and dropped it. So when I try to squat with my arms overhead, they wind up at a 45° angle in front of me, and that's a very difficult position to hold a kettlebell, especially when squatting at the same time. I'm sure Mark would have a bunch of better suggestions that this, but I thought I'd throw this out there.

[@bryanchrist8876]

I agree. I can't get it for nothing. I know I struggle with mobility and flexibility. So all the help I could get will be awesome.

[@kittypewpew]

One good variation is to just go stand in front of a wall, put your arms in a overhead position and squat. If you cant get down without our face hitting the wall, dont put weight on your hands until you have the mobility issue sorted out.

[@MarkWildman]

the overhead squat with kettlebells is the absolute hardest version os the the overhead squat. are you looking at single or double

[@nandobreiter4075]

I found a few videos of this wall technique. Seeing it is easier than describing and imagining it. There is one with a stick and one without. kzbin.info/www/bejne/mXPRh52unterjpI kzbin.info/www/bejne/e4aZkItmi9CHaZo I'm going to work on the one without the stick, one arm at a time to start.

[@fabianaubry3555]

All good stuff!

[@bryanchrist8876]

Get more better at moving in a human way.? I love it. Lol (seems like a shirt you'd have :]]). Question. I have history of back issues (surgery's) and since I've been primarily using my kettlebell. I haven't had any problems. Except when I do windmills. I wonder if this movement will give me the same problems? Thoughts?

[@MarkWildman]

its a smaller range of motion so maybe not. just lighten up the weight and build up slow

[@bryanchrist8876]

@@MarkWildman Will do. Thank you.

[@inglesconalan5360]

2nd - thanks Mark

[@faithandfitness421]

The TGU nerd math is TUT but as I’m doing these to perfect my TGU would you suggest volume cycles for these as I track them?

[@MarkWildman]

That’s certainly an option.

[@filosofodemierda]

What shoes are you using here?

[@a.lame.username.]

They are Chinese Kung fuey shoes. I'm pretty sure he has a video about shoes on this channel...?

[@jamowie4866]

Should the weight be purely resting on the lats? Fidning it hard to press weight with just the lats

[@herbertplumer5212]

Is there a reason why you don’t to the negative portion?

[@MarkWildman]

its in another variation

[@MarkWildman]

Should be up in a day or two
