Bottoms Up Kettlebell Decline Press
Exercise Overview
BOTTOMS UP INCLINE PRESS This exercise uses a kettlebell to work on shoulder stability. Start by lying down on an exercise bench with the back rest set up at 15-30 degrees decline from parallel with the floor. Hold a kettlebell in a bottoms up position and complete a chest press. Have your elbows about 45 to 60 degrees (hands at roughly the lower chest line) away from the torso at the bottom position and be sure to keep the elbows stacked directly below the wrists. Push the weight towards the ceiling while allowing the elbows to travel from the chest towards your shoulders (J-path). Reverse the motion to complete a repetition.
