106 MEN’S FITNESS OCTOBER 2019
Whyn You might not
think that your
glutes come into
play when you’re
performing a bench
press, but engaging
these key muscles
gives you a stable
base from which to
press a heavy weight.
Pressing the weights
alternately will
develop your ability
to resist being pulled
out of alignment.Hown Position yourself
with your shoulders
on a Bosu ball
holding a kettlebell
at each shoulder.
Perform a glute
bridge by contracting
your glutes and
pushing your hips
upwards. Press one
kettlebell up and
then, as you start
to lower it, press
the other kettlebell.
Repeat that pattern,
pressing the
weights alternately.
