How to perform

§ 02 · Steps
  1. 01

    Stand with your feet slightly wider than hip-width apart and place the kettlebells between your feet; keep your chest up and brace your core.

  2. 02

    Grip both handles firmly and keep your wrists in a neutral position.

  3. 03

    Drive your hips forward explosively from the hip hinge and let the power lift the kettlebells past your thighs without pulling with your arms alone.

  4. 04

    Rotate your wrists quickly into the overhead position and straighten your arms as if punching upward; squeeze your shoulders at the top.

  5. 05

    Lower the kettlebells under control by rotating your wrists and let them travel close to your body as you return to the starting position, maintaining core tension.
