How to Do Kettlebell Overhead Press

Form Cues

1. 1

   Clean to rack position first, press straight up

2. 2

   Lock out fully with bell over wrist over elbow

3. 3

   Brace your core to avoid arching the lower back as you press

4. 4

   Keep the non-working arm relaxed at your side rather than tensing it for balance

Common Mistakes

• ●

  Bell tipping back — keep the wrist straight and bell balanced directly over the forearm

• ●

  Pressing at an angle instead of straight up over the shoulder

• ●

  Using leg drive on what's meant to be a strict press — keep the lower body still unless doing a push press on purpose
