Technique

How to perform One-Arm Kettlebell Push Press

  1. Stand with a stable stance and clean one kettlebell to the shoulder, with the palm facing forward and the forearm beneath the handle.
  2. Make a shallow dip by bending the knees and hips while keeping the torso upright.
  3. Immediately extend the legs to drive the bell upward, allowing the heels to rise naturally as the drive finishes.
  4. Continue the movement by pressing the bell overhead and straightening the working elbow.
  5. Keep the legs extended as you finish the press; do not add a second knee dip to catch the bell.
  6. Lower the bell under control to the shoulder rack and repeat from there.
  7. Complete the set, then change arms.
