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.
Two-Arm Kettlebell Jerk
Clean two kettlebells to your shoulders. Clean the kettlebells to your shoulders by extending through the legs and hips as you swing the kettlebells towards your shoulders. Rotate your wrists as you do so, so that the palms face forward. Squat down a few inches and reverse the motion rapidly driving both kettlebells overhead. Immediately after the initial push, squat down again and get under the kettlebells. Once the kettlebells are locked out, stand upright to complete the exercise.
Verdict
Both exercises target the shoulders. Anti-Gravity Press is a beginner exercise using barbell, while Two-Arm Kettlebell Jerk is intermediate and uses kettlebells. Choose Anti-Gravity Press if you're looking for a more accessible option, or Two-Arm Kettlebell Jerk for a greater challenge.
