One-Arm Kettlebell Para Press

A pressing variation where the kettlebell is pressed at an angle with the elbow held out to the side, emphasizing shoulder stability and strength.

Instructions

1. Clean a kettlebell to your shoulder by extending through your legs and hips, rotating your wrist so the palm faces forward.
2. Stand with feet shoulder-width apart and core braced.
3. Hold the kettlebell with your elbow out to the side at approximately 90 degrees.
4. Press the kettlebell up and out until your arm is fully extended overhead.
5. Lower the kettlebell back to your shoulder under control.
6. Complete all repetitions on one side before switching arms.
