Nice one Maya, it's pretty near impossible to find a good demo of a KB push press on youtube!

[MrCrazySka]

Great Video, excellent explanation, thanks.

@travelsofar1 How do you get a circular movement out of a push-press?

[SimplisticBeing]

@kettlebellDenmark +1 She did a better job teaching than most the guys I see on YouTube, who say just clean and press.

@deadlift99 The Ketllebell competition all have the same shape and size. A color code determines the weight. Pink : 8kg, Blue : 12kg, Yellow : 16kg, Purple : 20kg, Green : 24kg, Orange : 28kg, and Red : 32kg

@bighouse1185 You should look Steve Cotter's video about the Snatch, that can help you to understand what's wrong

@bighouse1185 try changing where your positioning your grip on the handle perhaps?

[jumprilke]

That was pretty normal for me at first too. I found two things: I am stronger on one side. The one that I had the problem with was the strong side. I was muscling it up instead of allowing it to work. Second: I also found that that I need to have the grip correct at the beginning of the move.
