Variety Day - A Few See-Saw Kettlebell Presse

I'm off for the week before my meet, but I wanted to do a little something to stay loose, so I grabbed a pair of 24 kg bells and did see-saw military presses, 3 each side or 6 total.

It's interesting that just assuming my standing kettlebell press stance stretches my hip flexors - I miss doing these.  Standing kettlebell presses, with good form, provide a great challenge to tight hip flexors.  The see-saw variation is wonderful because it encourages a nice amount of mobilization in the upper back, shoulders, scapula, etc. while still requiring stability.  This is one of those magic lifts, IMHO.

Also walked a few miles to run errands, also stretched.

Onward and Upward!
