Double Kettlebell Push Press Instructions

  • Stand in a strong, athletic posture:
    • Chest up with your shoulders back
    • Knees slightly flexed
    • Core braced with a neutral spine
  • Grab two kettlebell. Clean them to your shoulders through the extension of your hips, knees, and ankles.
    • You want the KB's resting in the front rack position with your elbows up. 
  • To begin, slightly dip your knees and then explode upwards extending your hips, knees, and ankles to push the KB's to a stabilized position overhead.
    • Imagine bringing your armpits forward to create a stable shoulder position overhead.
    • At the top, your arms are fully extended.
  • Lower the weight to the starting position.

*Tips*

  • Keep your core tight for the duration of the exercise, never letting your low back arch excessively.
  • Stabilize the KB's overhead by keeping it close to your center-of-gravity.
  • The momentum generated from your lower half accelerates the KB overhead.
