Kettlebell Z Press
The floor-seated Z press with two kettlebells pressed from the rack; the bells ride on the backs of the forearms all the way up.
How to do it
Setup
Legs straight out on the floor, back unsupported, both kettlebells in the rack, knuckles up.
Steps
- Press both bells up together, forearms vertical under them.
- Lock the arms beside the ears, the bells stacked over the shoulders.
- Lower the bells back into the rack with control.
Common mistakes
Wrists folding back under the bells: stack the knuckles over the forearms. Leaning back to finish the press: ribs down, torso upright; lighter bells. Elbows flaring out of the rack: start each press with them in front of the ribs.
Breathing
Inhale down, exhale pressing.
