Shoddy Science? Benefits Of The Overhead Press

Rdella Training : The Strength & Performance Podcast

(#254) Does the latest research shed new light on the overhead press? Or is this shoddy science that leaves little practical application?

In this episode, I'll discuss some of the latest kettlebell science. Unfortunately, this study had a major flaw and I'll tell you what it is and why it's important to understand the limitations of a study like this.

Additionally, I'll share some specific applications to performing a safe and effective overhead press, whether you use a kettlebell or any other training implement.

I'll even offer a "call to action" for future research in this area.

To maximize the effectiveness of the much-debated overhead press, take a listen to this week's episode.
