Kettlebell Strict Press
Target Muscle
Secondary Muscles
Equipment
Engage your core and keep your back straight, then press the kettlebell overhead by extending your arm until it is fully straightened.
Pause for a moment at the top, making sure your bicep is close to your ear and your wrist is directly above your shoulder.
Slowly lower the kettlebell back down to the starting position in a controlled manner, keeping your core engaged throughout.
Repeat the movement for the desired number of repetitions, then switch to the other arm and perform the same steps.
Pro Tip
**Engage Your Core**: Before you start the press, make sure your core is engaged. This provides stability and helps to prevent injury. A common mistake is to arch the back during the press, which can lead to back injury. Instead, keep your torso straight and your abs tight. **Press Up and Out**: When you press the kettlebell, it should move in a straight line up and slightly out, ending with your bicep close to your ear. A common mistake is to press straight up, which can cause the kettlebell to hit the forearm and cause injury. 4
