How to perform it

Step-by-step instructions

  1. 01Start with one kettlebell hanging between the legs and use a relaxed grip with the palm able to open during the turnover.
  2. 02Hinge and drive the hips forward to send the kettlebell upward close to the body.
  3. 03As it approaches the shoulder, loosen and open the hand so the handle can rotate smoothly within the palm.
  4. 04Reinsert the hand and receive the bell softly in the rack with the wrist neutral and elbow close to the ribs.
  5. 05Lower the kettlebell safely to the hang and repeat with control before switching arms.
