Exercise Description

The kettlebell angled press builds serious shoulder strength while hitting your core hard. It's a unilateral move that fixes imbalances and builds real-world strength.

How To

1. Stand with feet shoulder-width apart, hold kettlebell in rack position at shoulder height 2. Brace your core and press the kettlebell up and slightly out at a 45-degree angle from your body 3. Keep your wrist straight and drive through your palm as you press the kettlebell overhead 4. Control the weight back down to the starting rack position, maintaining tension throughout the kettlebell angled press 5. Complete all reps on one side before switching to perform the kettlebell angled press on the other arm

Form Tips

• Keep your core tight throughout the entire kettlebell angled press movement to protect your lower back • Press the weight up and out, not straight overhead - this angle targets shoulders better • Don't let your elbow flare too wide during the kettlebell angled press motion • Keep your shoulder blade pulled down and back for stability

Common Mistakes

• Pressing straight up instead of at an angle, which reduces the effectiveness of the kettlebell angled press • Arching your back excessively to compensate for weak shoulders during the movement • Letting the kettlebell angled press become too fast - control the weight on both the up and down phases
