Kettlebell One Arm Push Press

Setup

1. 01Clean one kettlebell to the rack position at the shoulder.
2. 02Rest the bell on the forearm with the wrist straight and elbow on the ribs.
3. 03Stand with feet hip width apart and weight over mid foot.
4. 04Brace the trunk and square the hips.

Execution

1. 01Dip straight down a few inches by bending the knees.
2. 02Drive explosively through the floor, extending hips and knees.
3. 03Punch the bell to a full overhead lockout as the legs finish.
4. 04Absorb it back into the rack with soft knees, then repeat or switch arms.

Checkpoints

• -The dip stays vertical with the torso upright.
• -Hips stay square despite the one sided load.
• -Lockout stacks the bell over shoulder and hip.
• -The wrist stays neutral through the catch.

Common mistakes

• -Hinging forward in the dip and pushing the bell out front.
• -Leaning away from the bell at lockout.
• -Pausing between the dip and drive, killing the stretch reflex.
• -Lowering the bell straight down with a rigid arm instead of absorbing into the rack.
