Delts

The seesaw press alternates pressing one kettlebell up while the other lowers, which keeps tension on both shoulders continuously instead of resting between reps like a standard alternating press. That constant load makes it a solid shoulder-endurance builder, and the opposing motion also forces the core to resist rotation the whole set.

How to Do the Kettlebell Seesaw Press

  1. Stand with your feet shoulder-width apart, holding a kettlebell in each hand at shoulder height.
  2. Press one kettlebell overhead while keeping the other kettlebell at shoulder height.
  3. Lower the pressed kettlebell back to shoulder height while simultaneously pressing the other kettlebell overhead.
  4. Continue alternating the pressing motion, creating a seesaw-like movement.
  5. Repeat for the desired number of repetitions.
