Bent Press

Build full-body strength and stability with this old-school kettlebell lift.

A classic strongman movement, the Bent Press is a complex lift that combines strength, mobility, and coordination. It’s excellent for developing shoulder stability and trunk control.

Instructions

  1. Clean a kettlebell to your shoulder by extending through your legs and hips while rotating your wrist to face forward.
  2. Begin leaning to the opposite side while keeping your eyes on the kettlebell.
  3. Lower your torso while pressing the kettlebell vertically by straightening your elbow.
  4. Once fully extended, return to a standing position with the kettlebell overhead.
  5. Lower it safely and repeat for the desired reps on both sides.
