Kettlebell Svend Press

A standing chest exercise pressing two kettlebells together at the bells, where the inward squeeze keeps the pecs under constant tension.

How to do it

1. Stand and press two kettlebells together by squeezing the bells at chest height.
2. Hold the kettlebells horizontal — bells touching, handles outward.
3. Press the kettlebells forward until your arms are almost straight.
4. Pull them back to the chest under control.
5. Repeat for the prescribed reps.

Tips

• The squeeze on the bells is what makes the exercise.
• Use very light kettlebells — the awkward grip dictates the load.
• Keep the elbows slightly bent at the lockout.
