Coaching Cues

Start by holding a single kettlebell at shoulder height with your feet shoulder-width apart and your core engaged. Squat down fully, then drive upward explosively, pressing the kettlebell overhead in one fluid motion; repeat for the desired reps on one side before switching to the other arm. Maintain a pronated grip and keep your torso upright throughout the movement.
