Since the past few small group workouts have been pitched towards a PCC direction (working with the progressions on many of the main moves), it was time to bring out an old but challenging friend... The kettlebell walking see-saw press. This often humbling drill is a good way to get some extra mileage off of a pair of lighter kettlebells which moght have been collecting dust. … [Read more...] about A Workout with an Old Friend… The Kettlebell Walking See-Saw Press
