A multi-step sequence moving from lying on the back to standing while holding a kettlebell locked out overhead the entire time, one of the most technically complex single exercises in strength training.
Tips & instructions Progression
Learn the sequence bodyweight or with a shoe balanced on the fist before adding a kettlebell — the steps matter more than the load.
Safety
Keep the eyes on the kettlebell throughout every transition — losing visual contact with an overhead load is how this exercise causes injury.
