Kettlebell Workouts - Double Kettlebell Push Press

The Double Kettlebell Push Press is a great exercise in its own right. It is a powerful (pun intended) exercise that can overload the shoulder and arm musculature, strengthening the triceps for the lockout of the Military Press. https://chasingstrength.com/kettlebell-workouts

Furthermore, when the volume is high enough, it can be used to pack mass on the upper body.
Finally, when combined with the Double Kettlebell Clean, it’s an amazing substitute for the Double Kettlebell Clean and Jerk for someone lacking shoulder mobility or the necessary skill to drop under the bells for the Jerk.
1. Clean the kettlebells to the rack position. (You may move the feet closer toward each other after the Clean).
2. Keeping the torso vertical (perpendicular to the ground), dip your knees quickly and then straighten them.
3. At the instant they straighten, use the force generated from your legs to drive the kettlebells overhead locking out the elbows.
4. To lower them, either pull them back down to the rack or let them “freefall” absorbing or catching them by dipping your knees.
5. Straighten your knees and set up for another rep.
6. Perform as many reps as you choose.
7. To put the kettlebells down follow the procedure for the Double Kettlebell Clean.

Double Kettlebell Exercises — The Strong! Program

Image
There are three various training cycles within the "Strong!" program. The first is an 8 to 12-week block that trains your strength, based upon your 4 repeating maximum (RM), keeping the variety of repeatings low-- between 1 and 3-- and the variety of sets high. Rest between sets is "... as necessary ..." with the objective being "... to make each and every rep." Auto-regulation at its heart. Sounds noticeably comparable to EMOM A+A (every minute on the minute, alactic + aerobic) procedures from Strong Endurance ™, doesn't it? The second cycle trains work capacity and/or hypertrophy. It has two variations: the "Short Course" and the "Slow and Steady." The very first variation has you double your beginning volume in 4 to 6 weeks. The second, is more merciful, and spreads it out over 16 to 24 weeks. Both are created to make your old 4RM starting weight feel like a toy. However, because its objective is to develop muscle mass and/o
