How to perform it

Step-by-step instructions

  1. 01Hold one kettlebell from the hang, hinge it between the legs, and keep a relaxed grip during the backswing.
  2. 02Drive the hips forward sharply and guide the kettlebell upward close to the torso rather than curling it with the arm.
  3. 03As the bell reaches chest height, tighten the grip and guide the base upward above the handle.
  4. 04Receive it in a stable bottoms-up rack with the wrist vertical, elbow close, and bell balanced above the fist.
  5. 05Lower it carefully to the hang, re-establish the hinge, and complete the set before switching arms.
