Instructions
Sit on a bench with a straight back and place your feet firmly on the ground.
Hold a kettlebell in each hand with your palms facing forward and the kettlebells resting on the outside of your shoulders. This is your starting position.
Press the kettlebells upward until your arms are fully extended above your head. Keep your elbows in line with your shoulders as you press.
Pause at the top of the movement for a brief moment.
Slowly lower the kettlebells back down to the starting position.
Keep your core tight, and maintain a neutral spine throughout the movement.
Repeat for the desired number of repetitions and sets.
Tips: Make sure to perform the exercise with controlled movements to avoid injury. Start with a lighter weight to perfect your form before moving to heavier kettlebells. Breathe out as you press the kettlebells overhead and inhale as you return to the starting position. Avoid locking your elbows completely at the top of the movement to maintain tension on the shoulder muscles. Ensure that your wrists remain straight and avoid letting them bend backward during the press.
