Kettlebell alternating floor press

The kettlebell alternating floor press limits the range of motion you would achieve with a dumbbell or kettlebell bench press, but still targets the chest, triceps, and anterior delts. This allows you to build strength in the top portion of the lift, overload the triceps, and work on strengthening the shoulder stabilizers.

Benefits

  1. Pressing from the floor with a neutral or rotating grip can take stress off the shoulder joint
  2. Heavier weights can be used, making it a great accessory movement for strengthening the kettlebell military press
  3. Takes your legs out of the movement, giving all the responsibility to the core and upper body to move the weight and build strength
