Instructions
Around The Worlds
Lay down on a flat bench holding a dumbbell in each hand with the palms of the hands facing towards the ceiling. Tip: Your arms should be parallel to the floor and next to your thighs. To avoid injury, make sure that you keep your elbows slightly bent. This will be your starting position.
Now move the dumbbells by creating a semi-circle as you displace them from the initial position to over the head. All of the movement should happen with the arms parallel to the floor at all times. Breathe in as you perform this portion of the movement.
Reverse the movement to return the weight to the starting position as you exhale.
Extended Range One-Arm Kettlebell Floor Press
Lie on the floor and position a kettlebell for one arm to press. The kettlebell should be held by the handle. The leg on the same side that you are pressing should be bent, with the knee crossing over the midline of the body.
Press the kettlebell by extending the elbow and adducting the arm, pressing it above your body. Return to the starting position.
Verdict
Both exercises target the chest. Around The Worlds is a intermediate exercise using dumbbell, while Extended Range One-Arm Kettlebell Floor Press is beginner and uses kettlebells. Choose Extended Range One-Arm Kettlebell Floor Press if you're looking for a more accessible option, or Around The Worlds for a greater challenge.
