This exercise was a favorite of strongmen from the early 1900s. The bent press allows strongmen to lift much more weight than a standard one arm overhead press because more muscles of the body are engaged (more of a full body lift). You can use a kettlebell, dumbbell, or barbell. The bent press exercise works your shoulder, back, abdomen, triceps, legs (quads and hamstrings), and your butt (glutes) muscles. Unlike traditional overhead lifts, the bent press will improve hip mobility, spinal stability, and shoulder stabilization making this a perfect lift for athletes.
