Pro Tips
•Clean both kettlebells to a solid rack position before pressing. Elbows tight, bells resting on the outer forearms.
•Press both kettlebells straight up simultaneously, finishing with biceps by your ears and wrists stacked over shoulders.
•Squeeze your glutes and brace your abs hard throughout the press to create a stable platform.
Common Mistakes
•Pressing with one arm faster than the other, creating an asymmetrical lockout.
•Leaning back to compensate for heavy weight instead of maintaining a vertical torso.
•Flaring the elbows out to the sides during the press instead of keeping them slightly in front of the body.
