Exercise Position

Keep your back straight and your shoulders pulled back.
Grasp the kettlebell with an overhand grip and explosively extend your hips and knees.

As the kettlebell rises, pull it towards your shoulder and rotate your wrist to catch it in the rack position.
Once stabilized, press the kettlebell overhead until your arm is fully extended.
