Extended Range One-Arm Kettlebell Floor Press

Extended Range One-Arm Kettlebell Floor Press is a beginner-level compound in the strength category that primarily works the chest. It also recruits the shoulders and triceps. It is performed with kettlebell.

How to do it

1. 1Lie on the floor and position a kettlebell for one arm to press. The kettlebell should be held by the handle. The leg on the same side that you are pressing should be bent, with the knee crossing over the midline of the body.
2. 2Press the kettlebell by extending the elbow and adducting the arm, pressing it above your body. Return to the starting position.

Tips and common mistakes

• •Keep your core braced and your spine neutral throughout the movement.
• •Add load only once you complete all reps with good form — progressive overload.
• •Press through the full range and avoid snapping the joints into lockout.
• •Prioritize full range of motion over heavy weight with partial reps.

Sets and reps

For hypertrophy: 3–4 sets × 8–12 reps with 1–2 reps in reserve (RPE 7–9) and 1–2 minutes rest. For strength: 3–5 × 4–6 with longer rest.
