One Arm Kettlebell Press

Summary: The one arm kettlebell press will not only strengthen your shoulders, but your entire body as a unit. The one arm press forces your entire body to stay tight to avoid rotating or leaning to the loaded side. This makes it a great core exercise as well as upper body movement. Step 1: Clean a kettlebell to the rack position Step 2: Maintaining a square stature press the kettlebell keeping your shoulder down, lats engaged, and bicep away from the ear until full lockout. Step 3: Actively “pull” the kettlebell back down to the rack position. Tips and Safety: Maintain a long spine throughout the movement never rounding or overextending. Keep your gaze slightly above the horizon and drive your feet into the ground rooting yourself and creating a solid foundation. Before each press grip the ground with your feet to create as much energy as you can throughout your entire body. Maintain vertical forearms throughout the pressing process.
