Kettlebell Bottom-Up One-Arm Bench Press
The one-arm kettlebell bench press with the bell held upside down; balancing it forces a hard grip and a slow, straight press.
How to do it
Setup
Flat bench, the bell held bottom up at the chest, forearm vertical.
Steps
- Crush the handle and press slowly straight up.
- Pause at lockout with the bell balanced.
- Lower even slower; switch arms after the set.
Common mistakes
A loose grip: the bell tips over; crush the handle. Forearm leaning off vertical: the bell follows it. Pressing fast: balance lives at slow speed.
Breathing
Inhale down, exhale on the press.
