The Kettlebell Gladiator Press

January 27, 2009 by admin

I first saw this variation performed by Jeff Martone. There are several ways to get into this position. None of which are too easy. Start off light and perform this drill while fresh, early in your training. As you’ll see, it’s a tough position to hold and when fatigued you’ll have a tendency to shake.

P.S. I’m really not that white, it’s the lighting.

JCB, I’ve always like that one. Probably good warm-up move with a light bell alternating sides. We don’t have too many gladiators in here, maybe a few female gladiators+the candy man.

Peace,

Mike

Stehle,

The Candy-Man is for sure a Gladiator. Is he hitting the heavy bag at your place?

Hey Eric,

I’m not very active within the RKC community but I’m still an RKC but I’m very open to all kettlebell training options and opinions.

You are the most white, no almost translucent yet organic honey evah. Go Jim Thorpe! All joking aside, I’m all over this the next day.
