Kettlebell Alternating Press On Floor

Kettlebell Alternating Press On Floor

Description

The kettlebell alternating press on floor performs alternating presses with two kettlebells while lying on the floor. The floor stops the kettlebells from descending too far, protecting the shoulders. The alternating pattern increases time under tension and adds a core anti-rotation challenge while one bell is held overhead.
