Someone asked me “How do you do a chest press with a kettlebell?”

I shared a Reel on Instagram that demonstrated 3 variations:

1. Single Kettlebell Floor Press
2. Double Kettlebell Floor Press
3. Single Kettlebell Chest Press on a Flat Bench

You can check out the Reel >> HERE <<

Some Tips:

• When holding the kettlebell, position the handle so that it sits low in the heel of your hand and deep in the crease of your thumb. This position will enforce a neutral wrist, or slightly flexed like you are “arm wrestling” the kettlebell.
  
  
• When pressing the kettlebell, make sure that your forearm is vertical and that your wrist is in line with your elbow. Your arm should look like a right angle.
  
  
• Notice in the Reel how I pick up the kettlebell safely to start the lift, and then return the kettlebell safely to finish the lift.
  
  
• Rest your head on gardening knee pads or a folded towel to maintain a neutral cervical spine. If you don’t rest your head on something then you will notice that your cervical spine will be in slight extension.
  
  
• If you are wearing a watch, turn the face of the watch to the inside of your wrist so that you can safely rest the kettlebell on your wrist and forearm.

Note: For the double kettlebell chest press, I tend to go lighter with this weight because I want to be able to safely pick up and put down the weights.
