One-Arm Kettlebell Push Press

What it is

This dynamic, full-body exercise combines a kettlebell clean with an overhead press. It primarily strengthens your shoulders while also engaging your triceps, quadriceps, and calves for powerful upward drive. You'll use momentum from your lower body to assist in moving the weight overhead.

Technique tips

• Establish a strong rack position with the kettlebell at your shoulder.
• Initiate with a shallow dip of your knees, keeping your torso upright.
• Explode upwards, driving through your heels to generate momentum.
• Use this momentum to press the kettlebell to full arm extension overhead.
• Control the kettlebell's descent before initiating the next repetition.
• Breathe out forcefully as you drive the kettlebell overhead.

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.
