Coaching Cues

Lie back on an incline bench holding a kettlebell in each hand, bottoms up, with your arms above your chest. Lower the kettlebells slowly to your chest, maintaining control and wrist stability, then press them back up to the starting position.

What this exercise is for

Double Kettlebell Bottoms Up Incline Bench Press is a push-focused pair movement in the KB Pro library. It is categorized primarily under chest work and is best treated as a beginner-to-beginner skill anchor rather than filler volume.

The movement uses compound mechanics and tends to load the upper body chain most directly with bilateral loading that usually allows steadier output and simpler setup. In practice, that means it fits best when you want a movement with a clear role inside the session rather than something ambiguous or redundant.

Best use cases

Skill and coaching notes

This movement is tagged at the beginner level, so the useful question is whether the athlete can keep positions clean under fatigue, not just whether they can complete a single rep.

If you are programming for general training rather than testing, keep Double Kettlebell Bottoms Up Incline Bench Press in a role that reinforces chest work without forcing sloppy compensations from heavier or more technical lifts in the same session.

The cues on file reinforce the main coaching priority: Lie back on an incline bench holding a kettlebell in each hand, bottoms up, with your arms above your chest. Lower the kettlebells slowly to your chest, maintaining control and wrist stability, then press them back up to the starting position.
