The Kettlebell Angled Press targets your shoulders and triceps while improving stability and strength.

  1. Stand with your feet shoulder-width apart, holding a kettlebell in one hand at shoulder height.
  2. Press the kettlebell upward at an angle, extending your arm fully.
  3. Lower the kettlebell back to the starting position with control.
  4. Repeat for the desired number of repetitions before switching arms.

How to perform the Kettlebell Angled Press

  1. Set up. Set up in a stable, balanced starting position appropriate for the Kettlebell Angled Press using your kettlebell.
  2. Brace and execute. Brace your core, control the descent, and move through a full pain-free range of motion while emphasizing your pectoralis minor.
  3. 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.
