The “What the Hell?!?!?” Effect- Pressing Variants, The Deadlift and Climbing

By

In our publication, “Powerful Pressing”, I took some time to talk about this unique little thing I like to call the “WHAT THE HELL!?!?” effect.  This effect, aka “the cross over effect” , is an effect where one particular method of training carries over to another unique training area unrelated to kettlebell specific lifts.
