Kettlebell Alternating Press On Floor

Category
Chest
Equipment
Kettlebell
Target
Pectorals

Pressing from the floor removes leg drive entirely, isolating the chest, shoulders, and triceps more directly than a standing press would. Alternating arms means the torso has to resist rotation while one side works and the other stabilizes, adding a core demand a standard floor press doesn't have.

How to Do the Kettlebell Alternating Press On Floor

  1. Start by lying on your back on the floor with your knees bent and feet flat on the ground.
  2. Hold a kettlebell in each hand, with your palms facing towards your feet and your arms extended straight up towards the ceiling.
  3. Lower one kettlebell down towards your shoulder while keeping the other kettlebell extended straight up.
  4. Press the lowered kettlebell back up to the starting position while simultaneously lowering the other kettlebell down towards your shoulder.
  5. Continue alternating the press motion with each kettlebell for the desired number of repetitions.

Muscles Worked
