Kettlebell Overhead Press
From the rack position, press the bell strictly overhead to lockout with the torso braced; lower with control.
How to do it
Setup
Bell racked at the shoulder on the forearm, wrist straight, glutes and abs set.
Steps
- Press the bell strictly overhead to lockout.
- Keep the ribs down – no lean-back.
- Lower into the rack with control; switch arms.
Common mistakes
Wrist bent under the bell: knuckles to the ceiling. Elbow flaring early: it rises close, then out. Leaning away from the bell: stack it over the shoulder, spine tall.
Breathing
Exhale on the press, inhale lowering.
