Start Position

1. Position yourself with feet at shoulder width, holding the kettlebell in your right hand with an overhand grip.

2. Maintain an upright chest and engage your core.

Proper Form

1. Lift the kettlebell upward and backward while bending your knees, ensuring your core remains active.

2. As the kettlebell reaches chest height, thrust your arm through and upward, driving your elbow as high as it will go and keeping your wrist straight.

3. Upon reaching its peak, catch the kettlebell in the rack position by keeping the elbow in and resting the kettlebell on your upper and forearm.

4. Reverse the movement to return the kettlebell to its initial position.

Breathing Technique

1. Inhale deeply as you commence the movement.

2. Exhale while thrusting your arm through and as you catch the kettlebell in the rack position.

Precautions

1. Ensure your chest stays lifted and core engaged throughout the process.

2. Keep your wrist straight when capturing the kettlebell in the rack position.

3. Begin with a lighter kettlebell until you feel comfortable with the exercise.
