Over Head Press (1 arm)
Exercise name: Over Head Press (1 arm)
Exercise description:
Setup and Clean: Stand in an athletic stance, shoulder-width apart. Clean the kettlebell to the "rack" position—the bell rests on the outside of your forearm, and your elbow is tucked near your ribcage.
The Rack Position: Ensure the kettlebell handle sits across your palm at a \(45\)-degree angle, with your wrist straight and knuckles pointing toward the ceiling. Keep your thumb near your collarbone.
Create Tension: Before pressing, lock in your body. Squeeze your glutes (butt muscles) hard, tighten your abs, and keep your legs straight.
The Press: Drive the kettlebell directly upward, keeping it close to your head. As the hand reaches forehead height, allow your elbow to rotate slightly outward.
Lockout: Finish with your arm fully extended, the elbow locked, and the kettlebell positioned directly over your shoulder.
Return: Lower the kettlebell with control back to the starting rack position.
Technique that must be performed to count: The weight must start and end at shoulder height. The lifting arm must fully lock out overhead.
