Give me a hand to understand this better please, it has been a source of frustration that I don't get it.
Whats the intent/purpose of a push press -
1. At the end of a set of heavy presses, it is used to give yourself an assist from the legs if the KB is too heavy ?
2. A way of getting a heavy weight overhead so that you can get the benefit of a heavier negative than you can press ?
If it is just 1 and 2 above then could somebody reasonably say to me "Silly Chump, you shouldn't have been pressing that heavy in the first place, just calm down a bit, use a lighter weight and be patient, you will get there eventually"
3. A movement that should be mastered before learning the Jerk. Jerk being an exercise which works the whole body harder than an ordinary kettlebell press due to the extra input from the legs.
Am aware of people doing long C+J sessions - are the people doing those C+J sessions typically using heavier weights than they can easily press ?
