Just wanted to drop everyone a super quick note that I still have a few Z-Health joint mobility sessions for this Thursday evening.   I know there is a bunch of potential RKCs coming to good old Minnesota, so if you want to still get in on a session, drop me an email at michaelTnelson@yahoo.com

I was assisting at the RKC this past June and it was a blast!  I showed up at the meet and greet that Thurs night it took me over an hour to get into the main room as I got ambushed to do some Z “drive bys”   It was cool that most of them moving in the right direction, but this is far from ideal as I was not able to do a full history on each one (but for free I guess you can’t complain right?).

The meet and greet was fun and everyone on Team DuCane did awesome that 3 day weekend too.

Best of luck to all the potential RKCs coming to Minnesota also.

Rock on

PS

Drop me a line ASAP at michaelTnelson@yahoo.com  if you want to get in on a Z-Health session.  Heck, even if you don’t have a car I can probably even stop by the hotel there too for ya to save you a drive.

Make sure to take care of your hands this coming weekend!

The Kettlebell Press

Basics are best, but it seems some tend to forget that. Heck, I tend to forget that at times.

Below are two videos on how to perform the kettlebell (KB) press; a basic strength move that you will also learn at the RKC.

The first one reviews the barebones of how to do it correctly. I had to learn this the hard way and thought I was doing it correctly, and I was not even close! Luckily, I did a session with Sr. RKC Geoff Neupert a few years ago and he set me straight. Over the past couple years I’ve played around with it and taught others, so check out the short clip on how to get the basics of the KB Press down pat.

If you care looking for a bit more variety on your KB Press and you are doing great on the standard version, here are a few more options for you

1) Bottoms Up KB Press

2) Open Palm KB Press

3) Pizza KB Press

4) By the Horns KB Press

For further information, check out my article at Dragon Door

4 Tips for KB Pressing Power

by Mike T Nelson, RKC, Z-Health Master Trainer

All of this is a great start, but it is not a substitute for a session with a coach who can evaluate your form in person.

Email me at michaelTnelson@yahoo.com if you are interested in a Z-Health/Kettlebell combo session to take your kettlebell work to the next level and make sure you have the basics down cold.

If you are not in the White Bear Lake Minnesota area, look for a Z-Health or RKC in your neighborhood.
Drop me a comment and let me know how your Kettlebell Press is coming along!

Rock on
