How to perform it

Step-by-step instructions

  1. 01Start with the kettlebell in one hand and hinge to hike it back between the legs while keeping the spine long.
  2. 02Drive the hips forward explosively and guide the bell upward close to the body rather than swinging it away.
  3. 03As the bell rises, pull the elbow back and then punch the hand through the handle so the bell wraps softly around the wrist.
  4. 04Receive the kettlebell overhead with the elbow locked, the shoulder active, and the ribs stacked over the pelvis.
  5. 05Lower through the rack or guide the bell directly into the next backswing, then repeat before changing arms.
