Kettlebell Push Press

Technique

Setup

Hold one kettlebell in the rack position, resting on your forearm against your chest. Stand with feet hip-width, weight over your mid-foot and core braced.

Movement

Dip a few inches by bending your knees with your torso upright, then drive straight up through your legs and use that momentum to press the bell to lockout. Lower it back to the rack and absorb it with soft knees. Finish the set, then switch sides.

Form Tip

The dip is short and straight down, not a squat or a forward lean; let your legs start the bell moving, then finish with your arm.

Increase Difficulty

Use a heavier bell, or press two bells at once.

Decrease Difficulty

Use a lighter bell, or build the strict Kettlebell Overhead Press first.
