The kettlebell arm bar is one of my favorite exercises. Here are some of the benefits:
- Improved rib cage mobility
- Improved thoracic spine mobility
- Loosens up the pecs
- Loosens up the fascial line between the pec and the opposite hip
- Healthier, happier shoulders
This is a tiny taste of what you will experience inside my 8 Minute Shoulder Fix program, which is on its final original pricing sale this week:

More on that in a second. First, here is how to do the exercise.
How To Do The Kettlebell Arm Bar
- Start lying on the ground with the kettlebell at your side at shoulder level, in what we call the cradle position. This looks like the start of a Turkish get up.
- Pull the kettlebell into the body, roll to your back, and extend the working arm to lockout. Be sure to pack the shoulder back and down for stability.
- Take the same leg as your working arm and drive it over the top of the body. Drive that hip toward the ground while also driving the working shoulder toward the ground.
- Breathe in, then exhale as you drive the hip and shoulder toward the ground a little more each time. Do this 3 to 5 times progressively.

If you want a full breakdown of this move, along with a bunch of other movements, all organized into 8-minute daily routines in a 28-day challenge format, check out the 8 Minute Shoulder Fix.
Whether your goal is to improve shoulder mobility and stability, reduce pain, or prevent injury, this program has you covered.
