Seated Z Press

The seated Z Press isolates your shoulders and forces your core to work hard to maintain control of the kettlebells. You can even alternate the presses between your arms to make the exercise even harder. As Fikowski explains below, he uses this as one of three accessory exercises to help improve his handstand push ups. 

Three key exercises I’ve used to improve my handstand pushups. Kettlebell ZPress / banded tricep extensions / strict deficit HSPU. Tag someone who needs to step up their shoulder game.
