Kettlebell Overhead Press

Kettlebell Overhead Press Instructions

• Stand in a strong, athletic posture:
• Chest up and shoulders back
• Knees slightly flexed
• Core braced with a neutral spine
• Grab the kettlebell. Clean it to your shoulder through the extension of your hips, knees, and ankles.
• You want the KB resting in the front rack position with your elbow up.
• Controlling the press with your delts and triceps, press the KB's overhead. 
• Your arms and hands will rotate naturally during the movement.
• Imagine bringing your armpit forward to create a stable shoulder position overhead.
• At the top, your arms are fully extended overhead.
• Don't let your shoulders shrug or elbows flare out excessively.

*Tips*

• Keep your core tight for the duration of the exercise, never letting your low back arch.
• Stabilize the KB overhead by keeping it close to your center-of-gravity.
