How to do the Kettlebell Incline Twisted Fly

  1. Set an incline bench to a 45-degree angle. Select kettlebells of an appropriate weight for your fitness level.

  2. Lie on the incline bench with a kettlebell in each hand. Start with your arms extended towards the ceiling and your palms facing each other.

  3. Slowly lower the kettlebells out to your sides, keeping a slight bend at your elbows. As you lower them, rotate your wrists so your palms end facing forward.

  4. Continue the motion until your arms are parallel to the floor and you feel a stretch across your chest; the kettlebells should be at chest level.

  5. Reverse the motion and bring the kettlebells back up to the starting position by squeezing your chest muscles and rotating your wrists back to the palms-facing position.

  6. Repeat for the desired number of repetitions, usually between 8 to 12 for muscle growth, then rest for 1-2 minutes before starting the next set.

  7. Perform 3-4 sets of this exercise as part of your chest-focused strength training routine.

Ensure that your movements are controlled, especially while lowering the weights to prevent shoulder injuries. Adjust the weight of the kettlebells to maintain proper form throughout the exercise.
