Two-Arm Kettlebell Military Press

A bilateral kettlebell shoulder press that builds pressing strength, shoulder stability, and core endurance.

Instructions

1. Clean two kettlebells to your shoulders by extending through your legs and hips as you swing them upward. Rotate your wrists so palms face forward.
2. Stand with feet hip-width apart, core engaged, and kettlebells resting on your shoulders.
3. Press the kettlebells up and out, extending your arms overhead.
4. As the kettlebells pass your head, lean slightly into the weights so they finish locked out overhead.
5. Contract your lats, glutes, and abdominals to maintain stability throughout.
6. Lower the kettlebells back to your shoulders with control.

Tips

• Press in a slightly forward trajectory rather than straight up.
• Maintain a neutral spine and avoid excessive arching of your lower back.
• Keep your core engaged for stability and control.
• Finish with a strong lockout position with arms fully extended.
