Bent Press

Technique

How to perform Bent Press

1. Bring one kettlebell to a secure rack position with your forearm beneath the bell.
2. Set a stable stance and turn slightly away from the loaded side to prepare to move beneath the bell.
3. Hinge and turn your torso away and down, keeping the bell at nearly the same height as your elbow opens.
4. Continue beneath the bell until the loaded arm is straight and your torso is approximately horizontal; guide the free hand toward the floor as your position allows.
5. Keep the loaded arm vertical and extended as you extend through your hips and legs to stand upright.
6. Lower the bell under control to the rack, then repeat and switch sides after the set.
