The Kettlebell One Arm Floor Press is a great exercise for building upper body strength, particularly in the chest, shoulders, and triceps. It also helps to improve stability and control throughout the movement.
How to perform
To perform the Kettlebell One Arm Floor Press, follow these step-by-step instructions:1. Begin by lying on your back on the floor with your legs bent and feet flat on the ground. Hold a kettlebell in one hand, with your elbow bent and the weight resting on your chest.
2. Position your arm so that it is at a 45-degree angle away from your body, with your palm facing inwards.
3. Press the kettlebell up towards the ceiling, keeping your wrist straight and your elbow locked out at the top of the movement.
4. Lower the kettlebell back down towards your chest in a controlled manner, keeping your elbow tucked in close to your body.
5. Repeat for the desired number of reps, then switch arms and repeat on the opposite side.
It's important to maintain proper form throughout the exercise to avoid injury. Make sure to engage your core muscles and keep your back flat on the floor. Start with lighter weights to perfect your form before increasing the weight.
