Kettlebell Angled Press
The Kettlebell Angled Press targets your shoulders and triceps while improving stability and strength.
- Stand with your feet shoulder-width apart, holding a kettlebell in one hand at shoulder height.
- Press the kettlebell upward at an angle, extending your arm fully.
- Lower the kettlebell back to the starting position with control.
- Repeat for the desired number of repetitions before switching arms.
How to perform the Kettlebell Angled Press
- Set up. Set up in a stable, balanced starting position appropriate for the Kettlebell Angled Press using your kettlebell.
- Brace and execute. Brace your core, control the descent, and move through a full pain-free range of motion while emphasizing your pectoralis minor.
- Reset. Reverse the movement under control and reset between repetitions, keeping your form crisp on every rep.
Coaching cues
- Move with intent — every rep should feel deliberate, not rushed.
- Drive force through your pectoralis minor rather than momentum.
- Keep your breathing steady: exhale on the hard part, inhale on the reset.
Common mistakes
- Using too much weight and losing positional control.
- Cutting the range of motion short and missing the target muscle.
- Letting your spine round or hyperextend instead of staying neutral.
