Kettlebell Seesaw Press

Muscles worked

Main muscles
- Anterior Deltoid
Also working
- Anconeus
What it is
This dynamic movement involves pressing kettlebells overhead in an alternating fashion, creating a "seesaw" effect. It is a compound exercise that primarily targets your shoulders, specifically your deltoids, and provides significant work for your triceps. You will need two kettlebells to perform this exercise.
Technique tips
- Begin with both kettlebells in the rack position at your shoulders.
- As one kettlebell descends, immediately begin pressing the other.
- Keep your core engaged to stabilize your torso throughout.
- Fully extend your arm at the top of each press.
- Ensure an equal number of repetitions on both sides.
How to track your progress
Log the weight and reps of each set. Straddly turns every set into an estimated one-rep max, so a heavier single and a strong set of eight both count as progress, and it flags a personal record the moment you beat your best.
