Exercise Description

Clean a kettlebell with one arm. Push your hip out in the direction of the cleaned kettlebell. Turn your feet out at a forty-five degree angle from the arm with the kettlebell. While you are sitting back and lowering yourself, contract your lat as hard as possible and move your body away from the kettlebell. Continue to bend to the side until the kettlebell is locked out.

Performance Tips

• Look at the kettlebell during the entire duration of the bent press

• Focus on pushing your butt out to the side as if you are trying to sit down.

• Breathe in as you lower yourself to the floor and out slowly as you return to the starting position.

• Limit yourself to singles until you are confident with your form.

• Remember that you are not pressing the kettlebell. You are contracting your lat as hard as possible to hold it in a fixed position and moving your body away from the kettlebell.

• Think of the bent press as an extension rather than a press
