The Kettlebell Double Push Press exercise is a multi-joint movement that targets the shoulders, triceps, and core. It involves pressing two kettlebells overhead from shoulder level with a dip in the knees to generate power.
How to perform
To perform the Kettlebell Double Push Press:1. Begin by standing with your feet shoulder-width apart and two kettlebells at shoulder level, palms facing inward.
2. Engage your core and bend your knees slightly, preparing to push the kettlebells overhead.
3. Press the kettlebells overhead in a quick and explosive movement, extending your arms fully at the top.
4. Lower the kettlebells back down to shoulder level with control, engaging your core and keeping your chest up.
5. Repeat the movement for the desired number of repetitions.
It is important to maintain good form throughout the exercise by keeping your core tight, your back straight, and your elbows tucked in close to your body. This will help prevent injury and maximize the effectiveness of the exercise. Start with a lighter weight until you feel comfortable with the movement, then gradually increase the weight as needed.
