Instructions
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.
One-Arm Kettlebell Para Press
Clean a kettlebell to your shoulder. 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.
Hold the kettlebell with the elbow out to the side, and press it up and out until it is locked out overhead.
Lower the kettlebell back to your shoulder under control and repeat. Make sure to contract your lat, butt, and stomach forcefully for added stability and strength.
Verdict
Both exercises target the shoulders. Anti-Gravity Press is a beginner exercise using barbell, while One-Arm Kettlebell Para Press is intermediate and uses kettlebells. Choose Anti-Gravity Press if you're looking for a more accessible option, or One-Arm Kettlebell Para Press for a greater challenge.
