Lie on the floor with two kettlebells next to your shoulders.

Position one in place on your chest and then the other, gripping the kettlebells on the handle with the palms facing forward.

Technique guidance

Inhale during the controlled lowering phase and exhale as you press away. Avoid holding your breath unintentionally.

Use a stable setup and a load or resistance you can control through a comfortable range.
Stop if you feel sharp pain, dizziness, or feel unwell.
Keep the swing or lowering path clear and use a secure grip you can maintain throughout the set.
