Exercise Description

The standing one arm kettlebell press builds serious shoulder strength while forcing your core to work overtime for stability.

How To

1. Stand tall with feet hip-width apart, holding a kettlebell at shoulder height in one hand 2. Keep your core tight and shoulders square - don't let your torso lean to one side 3. Press the kettlebell straight up overhead until your arm is fully locked out 4. Control the weight back down to shoulder height for the standing one arm kettlebell press 5. Complete all reps on one side before switching to the other arm

Form Tips

• Keep your wrist straight and strong throughout the entire standing one arm kettlebell press movement • Don't arch your back - engage your abs to maintain a neutral spine • Press the weight up in a straight line, not forward or backward • Keep your free arm relaxed at your side for better balance during the press

Common Mistakes

• Leaning sideways to compensate for the weight instead of staying upright during the standing one arm kettlebell press • Pressing the kettlebell forward instead of straight up overhead • Using your legs to help push the weight up rather than keeping them stable throughout the standing one arm kettlebell press
