Cues di coaching

Lie on your back holding a kettlebell in each hand in a bottoms-up position over your chest, keeping your arms at a 90-degree angle. Press both kettlebells straight up until your arms are extended, then slowly lower them back to the starting position. Maintain control throughout the movement and keep your core engaged.

What this exercise is for

Double Kettlebell Bottoms Up 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.

How to program it

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 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 on your back holding a kettlebell in each hand in a bottoms-up position over your chest, keeping your arms at a 90-degree angle. Press both kettlebells straight up until your arms are extended, then slowly lower them back to the starting position. Maintain control throughout the movement and keep your core engaged.
