How to Do Kettlebell Floor Press
Form Cues
- 1
Lie on floor, clean bell to chest, press to full extension
- 2
Lower slowly to tricep touching floor
- 3
Keep the bell path close to your body during the clean so it doesn't swing out of control
- 4
Keep feet flat and knees bent for a stable base as you press
Common Mistakes
- ●
Losing wrist position during the press — keep the wrist straight and bell balanced over the forearm
- ●
Letting the elbow slam into the floor at the bottom instead of touching down under control
- ●
Pressing at an angle instead of straight up over the shoulder
Equipment Variations

Dumbbell floor press as direct substitute
