Barbell Bent Press

Barbell Bent Press - Andy Fitting

Kettlebell Jerk Monster Andy Fitting with a fine example of the bent press using a barbell.

The barbell bent press is a rare beast of an exercise that really forces the core to work overtime against the rotating barbell.

The bent press is not an actual press at all but an exercise in levering the weight and pushing against it and away from the weight until at arms length when you can return to the upright positon with the weight firmly held above your head.

Try the bent press with a kettlebell first to get the technique down and then move onto more instability with the barbell.

Awesome for core strength (but don't forget to use both arms)
