How to strengthen your kettlebell press with chinups
The negative, or lowering, half of the double kettlebell military press is identical to the chinup on the rings. Practice chins the Party way and you will get stronger in your press while working more muscles in the process.
To chin start with your palms facing forward. As you are pulling, your elbows will come in and your fists will rotate almost into the curl position. And your pecs will contract.
Yes, the pecs are good for something other than the bench press; they are pullup muscles too! On your next chin have your training partner place push against the insides of your elbows. Bring your elbows together as you are completing the chin, push against your buddy’s hands imitating the despicable peck deck machine.
Once you have felt the connection, engage your pecs without your partner’s assistance. First in chins, and then in kettlebell presses.
Russian kettlebell power to you!
