How to do Kettlebell Overhead Press

Setup

Stand with feet hip-width apart and a kettlebell racked in each hand at shoulder height (or one bell for single-arm pressing), wrists straight and elbows tucked at roughly 45 degrees.

How to do it

  1. Press the kettlebells straight overhead until your elbows lock out beside your ears
  2. Brace your glutes and core so your lower back does not arch
  3. Lower back to the rack position under control
  4. Keep your wrists neutral with the bell resting on the outer forearm

Watch out for

  • Leaning back and turning it into an incline press as the weight gets heavy
  • Pressing the kettlebells out in an arc instead of a straight vertical line
