Kettlebell Seated Press Exercise
Builds strength and control by improving stability, coordination, and efficient movement.
Description
Kettlebell seated press focuses on controlled movement and maintaining proper body alignment throughout the exercise. The goal is to create tension where needed while avoiding unnecessary strain or momentum. This helps improve movement quality, joint stability, and overall physical control.
Instructions:
- Sit on the floor and spread your legs out comfortably.
- Clean one kettlebell to your shoulder.
- Press the kettlebell up and out until it is locked out overhead. Return to the starting position.
Exercise FAQ
What’s a common mistake people make here?
Rushing reps and losing body position. Keep the movement smooth and repeatable so tension stays where you want it. Think of it as pressing done with repeatable, clean reps.
Does grip or stance matter?
Yes—small changes can shift what you feel and how stable you are. Pick the most controlled position and keep it consistent while you learn the movement.
How should I program this in a workout?
Use it after your warm-up when you’re fresh. Aim for 2–4 sets and choose a rep range that matches your goal (strength: lower reps; muscle: moderate reps). Think of it as pressing done with repeatable, clean reps.
