Seesaw Press (Kettlebell)

An alternating overhead pressing movement where you press one kettlebell while the other is held at shoulder height, creating a seesaw pattern.

Instructions

1. Stand with your feet shoulder-width apart, holding two kettlebells at shoulder height with the bells resting against your shoulders.
2. Position your elbows underneath the kettlebells, keeping them tucked close to your body.
3. Press one kettlebell overhead by extending your arm fully, locking out at the top.
4. Simultaneously lower the opposite kettlebell back to shoulder height as your other arm extends.
5. The kettlebells move in an alternating, seesaw-like pattern.
6. Lower the pressing kettlebell back to shoulder height as you press the opposite kettlebell upward.
7. Continue alternating sides for the desired number of repetitions.

Tips

• Maintain constant tension with both kettlebells throughout the set.
• Keep your core braced to prevent excessive spinal extension or rotation.
• Move in a continuous, rhythmic pattern without pausing at the top or bottom.
• Ensure equal reps on both sides to address strength imbalances.
• Do not allow your lumbar spine to hyperextend; maintain neutral spinal alignment.
• Keep your feet planted firmly and avoid swaying or shifting your body weight excessively.
• This variation develops unilateral shoulder strength and core stability simultaneously.
