Instructions:

  • 1Stand upright and hold a kettlebell in each hand with your palms facing inward.
  • 2Slowly lift the kettlebells to your chest, keeping your elbows high and your forearms parallel with the ground.
  • 3With a controlled motion, lower the kettlebells back to your sides.
  • 4Repeat this motion while maintaining proper form and control.

Tips:

  • Ensure your back remains straight and your chest is pushed out throughout the lift.
  • Avoid using your back or hips to lift the kettlebell; keep your movements focused on your arms and shoulders.
  • The higher you lift the elbow, the stronger the deltoid activation will be.
  • Ensure to control the movement, slowing down the lowering phase to increase muscle stimulation.
