About

It's a workout that can target the shoulder using a kettlebell that's a little more unstable than a dumbbell!

How to One Arm Kettlebell Arnold Press

Starting Position

1. Sit on the bench, puff out your chest, and straighten your back.

2. If there is a backrest, adjust it to about 70-80 degrees instead of 90 degrees.

3. Hold a kettlebell in one hand and position it in front of your body.

4. The palm of your hand should face your body.

Proper Form

1. Position the kettlebell in front of your shoulders with your palms facing your body.

2. Rotate your arms so that your knuckles face your body and lift your arms overhead.

3. When lowering, rotate your arms back and return to the starting position.

Breathing Technique

Exhale when lifting the kettlebell and inhale when lowering it.

Precautions

1. This exercise uses the front deltoids more than a typical shoulder press.

2. For those with rotator cuff issues, I recommend the Arnold press over the typical shoulder press.
