How to do a z press
- Sit on the floor with your legs straight and spread slightly apart.
- Clean the kettlebell to the rack position while seated.
- Sit as tall as possible with your chest up.
- Press the bell overhead to full lockout without leaning back.
- Lower to the rack with control and repeat, then switch sides.
Form tips
- No leaning back, the floor exposes any cheating.
- Keep your legs active and press your heels into the floor.
- Reduce the weight compared to your standing press.
