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.
One-Arm Kettlebell Push Press
Hold a kettlebell by the handle. Clean the kettlebell to your shoulder by extending through the legs and hips as you pull the kettlebell towards your shoulder. Rotate your wrist as you do so, so that the palm faces forward. This will be your starting position.
Dip your body by bending the knees, keeping your torso upright.
Immediately reverse direction, driving through the heels, in essence jumping to create momentum. As you do so, press the kettlebell overhead to lockout by extending the arms, using your body's momentum to move the weight. Lower the weight to perform the next repetition.
Verdict
Both exercises target the shoulders. Alternating Kettlebell Press is a intermediate exercise using kettlebells, while One-Arm Kettlebell Push Press is intermediate and uses kettlebells.
