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 Military Press
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.
Press the kettlebells up and out. As the kettlebells pass your head, lean into the weights so that the kettlebells are racked behind your head. Make sure to contract your lats, butt, and stomach for added stability.
Verdict
Both exercises target the shoulders. Anti-Gravity Press is a beginner exercise using barbell, while Two-Arm Kettlebell Military Press is intermediate and uses kettlebells. Choose Anti-Gravity Press if you're looking for a more accessible option, or Two-Arm Kettlebell Military Press for a greater challenge.
