Similar Exercises

Stand with your feet spaced shoulder width apart, then squat down to pick up the kettlebell.

Then explosively squat upwards, keeping the kettlebell close to your body, as it rises rotate your hand around and bring it to your shoulder. When stable, press upwards, extending your arm. Then slowly lower back down, rotate the kettlebell at shoulder height and in a controlled manner lower it again to the floor. Ensure you keep your wrist and forearms aligned during the press. Activate your core to keep a straight back throughout. Repeat for the desired repetitions, then switch sides.

Avoid losing control and keep the movement smooth.
