Kettlebell Floor Press

How to do it

1. Lie on the floor holding a kettlebell in one hand (or one in each), bell resting on your forearm.
2. Start with arms straight over your chest, wrists stacked over your elbows.
3. Lower until your upper arms rest on the floor.
4. Pause, then press back up.
5. Keep your wrists straight - a bent wrist under a bell is how you strain it.
