Elitefts™ team member Chris Duffin is demonstrating how to perform a Kettlebell Bottom-Up Press. This upper-body exercises is a great way to develop shoulder strength and stability. In powerlifting this will lead to increased bench performance and injury prevention by increasing the integrity of the shoulder joint.
Kettlebell Bottoms-Up Press
- Assume athletic position and grasp kettlebells with tight grip.
- Clean the kettlebells to shoulder height.
- Kettlebells should be positioned directly above the hands.
- Press the kettlebells overhead.
- Repeat for desired reps.
*To increase difficulty perform the Kettlebell Bottoms-Up Press while walking. This will keep your thoracic spine in line and increase core activation.
