Bent Press

I am in the middle of a six-week program of military presses and swing volume training. But, I will now start on a program to improve my bent presses.

Warmup: windmills with no weight
Warmup: 2 reps each side 20kg

Practiced with 3 sets of 3 reps using a 32 kg kettlebell

By the last reps, it became difficult to keep the weight over the rear leg. Keep the hand pointing away from the body!

Practiced 2 singles on each side with an empty bar. Very different with a bar. I still don't feel comfortable with the angles.
