If your kettlebell press feels weak, the problem probably isn’t your shoulder.
It’s a lack of tension.
Here are two simple fixes:
1️⃣ Crush your free hand.
Squeezing your non-pressing fist creates an irradiated effect, helping your entire body generate more tension.
2️⃣ Pack your shoulder.
Depress and externally rotate your shoulder to engage your lat. A tight lat gives you a stronger, more stable foundation for the press.
The press isn’t just an arm exercise.
It’s a full-body skill.
