Kettlebell Double Push Press
Description
The kettlebell double push press uses two kettlebells held in the rack position at the shoulders. A quick dip and drive from the legs starts the kettlebells moving up, after which the shoulders complete the press to lockout. The leg drive allows heavier loads than a strict press and trains explosive total body power.
