Alternating Kettlebell Press
Clean two kettlebells to your shoulders. Clean the kettlebells to your shoulders by extending through the legs and hips as you pull the kettlebells towards your shoulders. Rotate your wrists as you do so.
Press one directly overhead by extending through the elbow, turning it so the palm faces forward while holding the other kettlebell stationary .
Lower the pressed kettlebell to the starting position and immediately press with your other arm.
Anti-Gravity Press
Place a bar on the ground behind the head of an incline bench.
Lay on the bench face down. With a pronated grip, pick the barbell up from the floor. Flex the elbows, performing a reverse curl to bring the bar near your chest. This will be your starting position.
To begin, press the barbell out in front of your head by extending your elbows. Keep your arms parallel to the ground throughout the movement.
Return to the starting position and repeat to complete the set.
