One-arm kettlebell shoulder press
Using the kettlebell, you can also specifically target one shoulder. The advantage is that you can better focus on the movement. Here is more information on the optimal body position and execution of the movement.
Body position
Start by standing upright. Your legs are firmly planted on the ground, and your stance is slightly wider than your hips. Keep your back straight with a slight tilt in the lower back to protect the spine. Your gaze is forward. Take a kettlebell in one hand, with your forearm pointing vertically upward. The kettlebell is positioned at shoulder height.
Movement execution
As you exhale, extend your arm with the kettlebell upward, ensuring that your arm is vertically aligned. Be careful not to overextend the arm to protect the elbow joint. Inhale as you return to the starting position.
