ASK BJ:
Difference Between Kettlebell Overhead Presses, Push Presses, and Jerks?
Hey BJ,
With regards to kettlebells, what is the difference between a push press and a jerk? Can you do video demo showing the difference? Thanks, Chris
Thanks for the question Chris! See below for a quick outline answering your question:
KB Overhead Press- Strict Upper Body Exercise
KB Push Press- Adds Lower Body Assistance with a Dip to Initiate Press
KB Jerk- Adds Additional Lower Body Assistance a Dip to Initiate Press and a Second Dip to Lockout the Press Overhead
Crank it!

BJ…Everytime I think Workout Muse is absolutely the best you make it even better! This is getting addicting!
Great stuff. There was a problem with the Jerk because I could not see what was happening with the upperbody, the filming only shot what was happening in Lower body, so I don’t get it completely?
hey Stuart, sorry about the video getting cutoff.
The jerk ends the exact same way as the push press, the only exception is that there is that second dip of the lower body to help assist in the overhead lockout thus allowing for heavier loads than the push press
hope this helps
crank it!
