Kettlebell Incline Y-Raise

1. Set an incline bench to a 45-60 degree angle.

2. Grab a kettlebell with one hand and lie prone (face down) on the bench with your feet firmly on the ground.

3. Engage your core and keep your spine in a neutral position.

4. Begin with the arm holding the kettlebell fully extended towards the floor.

5. Keeping your arm slightly bent at the elbow, lift the kettlebell diagonally up and out to the side in a "Y" shape, raising your arm to be in line with your ear at the top of the movement. Your thumb should be pointing up as you lift, leading the motion.

6. Hold the top position for a brief moment, then slowly lower the kettlebell back to the starting position under control.

7. Complete all the repetitions with one arm before switching to the other arm.

8. Ensure to move through the movement with control, focusing on using your shoulder muscles to perform the lift rather than using momentum.

Remember to start with a lightweight to get used to the motion and maintain proper form throughout the exercise. Adjust the weight as necessary as you progress.
