Chest Press (Kettlebell)

A fundamental pressing exercise performed lying on a bench or ground with kettlebells, developing chest and tricep strength.

Instructions

1. Lie on a flat bench or ground with feet firmly planted.
2. Hold kettlebells at chest height with elbows bent at approximately 45 degrees from your body.
3. Press the kettlebells upward until your arms are fully extended without locking elbows.
4. Lower the kettlebells back to chest height in a controlled manner.
5. Keep your shoulder blades retracted and chest engaged throughout.
6. Maintain a stable position with your core engaged.

Tips

• Press in a slight arc toward the center, not straight up.
• Lower the kettlebells to a comfortable depth, typically until elbows are at or slightly below shoulder height.
• Keep your shoulder blades packed for safety and stability.
• Maintain even pressure between both kettlebells to prevent imbalances.
• Breathe in during the descent and out during the press.
• This exercise can be performed on a bench or lying on the ground.
