Kettlebell Single-Arm Overhead Lunge
The lunge with one kettlebell locked out overhead, the bell resting on the back of the forearm; holding it steady over one shoulder makes the trunk fight a lean.
How to do it
Setup
One kettlebell pressed overhead, arm vertical and locked, the other hand free at the side.
Steps
- Take a long lunge step while the locked arm stays vertical.
- Lower the back knee toward the floor, eyes forward.
- Drive back up and switch the bell to the other hand between sets.
Common mistakes
Wrist bent back under the bell: stack the knuckles over the forearm. Torso leaning away from the weight: brace so the shoulders stay level. Elbow softening as the set goes on: lower the bell before the lockout slips.
Breathing
Inhale into the lunge, exhale driving up.
