CHEST 

Exercising the chest or more properly the pectoralis major is another popular exercise area/muscle group and kettlebells offer many dynamic options.

Certainly the basic chest press is the starting exercise but several modifications such as 4 & 8 o'clock presses, declines, top and bottom halves and bottoms-up presses provide a chest workout but also emphasize control, coordination and stability. 

Caution
Since chest presses tend to use  heavy weight be extremely cautious when changing hands.  I strongly recommend rolling the kettlebell around the head as shown in the first picture. Dropping a chest press weight kettlebell on your abs or chest as you transfer it between hands hurts a lot. 

Chest Press
Back flat on the floor, start with your arm holding the kettlebell at 90 degrees to the body, elbow on the floor, wrist aligned with the forearm. Press the kettlebell to the ceiling.  Balance yourself to keep from rolling to the side by holding the other hand outstretched.

More intensity comes with a kettlebell in each handas shown in the third pair of pictures

Cautions

• Maintain your wrist aligned with the forearm.  Letting the hand drop back towards your wrist is very hard on your wrist over time.
• The kettlebell should be on the back of your wrist as you press.

If you want more​

• Top-half and bottom-half pulses - holding the kettlebell in rack position, pulse rapidly from the top to half-way down position or from the bottom to the half-way up position.
• Use different weights in each hand such as 30lb in one hand, 20lb in the other.  Then switch hands.   
• Use two equal weights.  

If you want different

• Bring the elbows to 4 and 8 o'clock from the normal 3 and 9 o'clock position.

If you want less

• Lighter weight.  

Decline Presses
From the basic chest press position, bring the heels into the glutes and then lift the hips so the body is a plank from shoulders to hips to knees.  
Press the kettlebell with the elbows at 3 or 9 o'clock.  As with the basic press, you can also bring the elbows to 4 or 8 o'clock to emphasize the lower part of the pecs. 
Cautions

• Same as general presses.
• If you have lower back issues, be cautious of lifting the back.

If you want more

• Hold one leg off the floor either vertically or for even more parallel to the floor. 

If you want less

• Hold the kettlebell in both hands and press over your abs with the hips raised.

Bottoms-up 
A very difficult press demanding forearm strength and extreme control is to hold the kettlebell handle so the bottom of the kettlebell points up.  One or both hands, 3 & 9 o'clock or 4 & 8 o'clock as with other presses.  

​Using the other hand to help get the kettlebell in bottoms-up position is often done with heavier kettlebells.
Cautions

• Clearly, balancing the weight is the major challenge.  As such dropping the kettlebell is possible so use caution and a lighter weight than normal for presses. 

If you want more

• Heavier weight. 

If you want less

• Lighter weight.
