A unilateral horizontal press performed from the floor with a kettlebell. The floor limits the bottom range and emphasizes chest, triceps, shoulder control, and anti-rotation stability.
Lie on your back on the floor with your knees bent and feet flat.
Hold a kettlebell in one hand with an overhand grip, positioning it close to your chest.
Extend your free arm out to the side for balance.
Press the kettlebell upward until your arm is fully extended, keeping your wrist straight and aligned with your forearm.
Pause briefly at the top of the movement, ensuring your shoulder remains stable.
Slowly lower the kettlebell back to the starting position, maintaining control throughout.
Complete the desired number of repetitions before switching arms.
Keep your core engaged throughout the exercise to maintain stability.
Ensure your elbow is at a 45-degree angle to your body during the press to protect your shoulder joint.
Focus on a controlled movement, especially during the lowering phase, to maximize muscle engagement.
Use a weight that allows you to perform the exercise with proper form for all repetitions.
If you're new to this exercise, start with a lighter kettlebell to master the technique before increasing weight.
Maintain a neutral wrist position to prevent strain and ensure effective force transfer.
