How to perform Kettlebell Push Press with proper form

Setup

1. Stance: Stand with feet shoulder-width apart.
2. Kettlebell Position: Hold a kettlebell in one hand at shoulder height, with your elbow close to your body. The palm should face you, and the kettlebell should rest on your forearm.

Execution

1. Engage Core: Tighten your core muscles to maintain stability.
2. Leg Drive: Slightly bend your knees and push through your heels to generate force.
3. Press Up: Extend your arm overhead, pressing the kettlebell upwards while using your legs to help drive the movement.
4. Finish Position: Lock your elbow at the top and keep your wrist straight. The kettlebell should be above your shoulder, with the arm extended.
5. Lowering: Reverse the motion by lowering the kettlebell back to shoulder height with control.

Tips

• Keep your back straight and avoid leaning back excessively.
• Ensure your wrist stays neutral throughout the movement.
• Focus on an explosive movement while maintaining control.

Common Mistakes

• Letting the kettlebell drift too far away from the body.
• Using too much back and not engaging the legs properly.
• Neglecting core engagement and stability.

Follow these steps for proper form to maximize effectiveness and minimize injury risk.
