How to do the Double Kettlebell Sots Press Exercise

The Sots Press will build massive core strength while helping the shoulders and legs endure whatever you might throw at them. This exercise is the epitome of strength meeting balance. You don't need a heavy weight to gain the benefits of the Sots Press. Named after Russian weightlifting champ, Viktor Sots, you will be cursing his name throughout this exercise. The tension must kept at all times which puts you in a good position to lift, but must be worked up to. If you have problems with the Sots press start with Overhead Squats and Seated Military Press on the ground to build up.
