One-Arm Kettlebell Para Press

What it is

This intermediate, compound kettlebell movement challenges your stability and overhead strength. You press a single kettlebell from your shoulder to a locked-out overhead position. It primarily targets your shoulders, with significant engagement from your triceps. The exercise also builds full-body tension and coordination.

Technique tips

• Clean the kettlebell powerfully to your shoulder rack position.
• Keep your elbow out to the side as you press the weight up.
• Press the kettlebell up and slightly out until your arm is locked.
• Control the kettlebell's descent back to your shoulder.
• Engage your core, glutes, and lats for full-body stability.

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.
