Kettlebell One Arm Military Press To The Side

Category
Shoulders
Equipment
Kettlebell
Target
Delts

Pressing out to the side rather than straight overhead changes the shoulder's leverage and puts more demand on the lateral delt and the obliques resisting the sideways pull of the bell. It's an unusual angle most people never train, which is exactly why it exposes weak points a standard press won't. Keep the reps light until the joint gets used to the path.

  1. Stand with your feet shoulder-width apart, holding a kettlebell in one hand at shoulder height.

  3. Press the kettlebell overhead, extending your arm fully.
