Kettlebell Seated Lateral Raise
The kettlebell lateral raise seated on a bench with an upright back rest; the seat and the pad take the hips and the trunk out of the lift.
How to do it
Setup
Seated on a bench with the back against an upright pad, a kettlebell in each hand beside the seat.
Steps
- Lift the kettlebells sideways to shoulder height.
- Keep the back on the pad and the bells hanging still.
- Lower them beside the seat under control.
Common mistakes
Rocking off the pad to start the rep: the back stays on it. Bells swinging below the hands: slow the lift. Setting the bells down between reps: stop short of the floor and go again.
Breathing
Exhale opening the arms, inhale lowering.
