Instructions
Start by lying flat on a bench with a kettlebell in each hand. Your feet should be flat on the floor, shoulder-width apart, providing stability.
Hold the kettlebells with a neutral grip (palms facing each other) over your chest with your arms fully extended.
Begin to lower the kettlebells towards your chest by bending your elbows. Keep your wrists straight and elbows at about a 45-degree angle from your body.
Lower the kettlebells until they are near your chest or at a depth that's comfortable without compromising your form.
Push the kettlebells back up to the starting position by contracting your chest muscles and extending your arms fully.
Perform the desired number of reps and sets, ensuring you maintain a controlled movement both on the way down and on the way up.
Safety Tip: It is crucial to control the weight throughout the exercise to prevent injury and ensure the target muscles are effectively engaged. If you are new to this exercise, it may be beneficial to have a spotter or start with a lighter weight to get the proper form down.
