Primary: triceps

Correct technique

  1. 1Hold the kettlebell behind your head with both hands.
  2. 2Elbows point up.
  3. 3Straighten your arms overhead.
  4. 4Lower slowly.
Breathing: Exhale on the effort (lifting, pressing, pulling), inhale as you release.

Common mistakes

  • ✕Elbows flaring out.
  • ✕Arching the lower back.

Caution if you have pain

If you have pain in your shoulders, choose a gentler variation. In your custom plan we leave it out completely in that case.
