Exercise Profile

Kettlebell Bottom Up Press Overview

The kettlebell bottom up press is a shoulder-focused workout that utilizes the kettlebell as the main equipment.

By holding the kettlebell upside down, the exercise engages the stabilizer muscles in the shoulder, promoting strength and stability.

While the workout may also engage secondary muscles, such as the triceps and core, its primary focus is on targeting the shoulders.
