I can military press a kettlebell smoothly with no popping. When pressing, I swing the bell slightly out to the side in a mild arc, similar to the picture of Pavel in ETK, but maybe not quite that wide. When I lower the bell along that same path, I get a clicking sound in my shoulder. I have tried various ways of lowering the bell, pulling, tensing, relaxed. Get popping every time. But, if I lower the bell directly in front of me I don't get any popping. So, I seem to be able to use a different path lowering the bell than raising the bell. Has anyone else experienced this? Is there anything I can try to emphasize when lowering the bell to allow me to lower it over the same trajectory as I raise it and not get the popping?
