Kettlebell Seesaw Press

Setup

1. 01Clean two kettlebells to the rack position.
2. 02Stand with feet hip to shoulder width and glutes squeezed.
3. 03Press one kettlebell to full lockout to start the seesaw rhythm.
4. 04Keep both wrists neutral with the bells on the back of the forearms.

Execution

1. 01Lower the locked-out bell to the rack while pressing the other bell overhead.
2. 02Time the movement so one bell is always moving up as the other moves down.
3. 03Lock each press fully before starting the next switch.
4. 04Keep the trunk rigid so the hips do not sway side to side.

Checkpoints

• -One arm reaches full lockout on every rep.
• -Hips and shoulders stay square to the front.
• -The descending bell is controlled, not dropped, into the rack.
• -Breathing stays rhythmic with the alternating presses.

Common mistakes

• -Leaning away from the pressing arm.
• -Rushing the rhythm and losing the lockout.
• -Letting the racked bell drift away from the body.
• -Using leg drive and turning it into a push press.
