Technique
- Clean a kettlebell to the rack position with the elbow tucked and the wrist straight.
- Stand with feet hip-width apart and the other arm out for balance.
- Dip a few inches with the torso upright, then drive up through the legs.
- Use that momentum to press the bell overhead to lockout.
- Lower it to the rack under control, reset and repeat; finish the set and switch arms.
Cues
- Dip and drive straight up; do not lean.
- Time the press so the arm finishes the push after the legs extend.
- Keep the bell close to your body.
Common mistakes
- Pressing the bell out in front.
- Dipping by bending forward at the hips.
- Letting the bell crash onto the forearm.
- Leaning to the side at lockout.
