Exercise guide
Extended Range One-Arm Kettlebell Floor Press
The Extended Range One-Arm Kettlebell Floor Press is a unilateral chest press performed from the floor. The chest, shoulder, and triceps move the kettlebell above the torso while the lower-body position may allow some controlled torso rotation. The supplied instructions do not clearly explain what creates the extended range.
Training context
Understanding the extended-range setup
The same-side knee crosses the body's midline, which may rotate the pelvis and torso enough to change the pressing range. This differs from a standard floor press, where the back and upper arm remain flat against the floor.
Because the movement is not fully described, use a conservative range and keep the shoulder supported. Do not force rotation simply to move the kettlebell lower.
Technique overview
Control the torso before pressing
Lie with the kettlebell held securely in one hand and position the same-side leg as described. Establish a shoulder position that feels stable before lowering the weight. Press by extending the elbow and bringing the arm toward the midline. Return slowly without allowing the kettlebell to pull the shoulder or torso unexpectedly.
Treat this as an overview and use a range, pace, and setup you can control.
