Step by step

1. Sit on a bench with back support and a kettlebell in each hand, racked at your shoulders.
2. Plant your feet flat on the floor and brace your core to lock the torso in place.
3. Press both kettlebells straight up overhead until the arms are fully extended.
4. Finish with the wrists stacked over the elbows and the bells resting on the back of the forearms.
5. Lower the bells slowly back to the rack position with elbows tracking forward, not flaring wide.
6. Pause briefly at the bottom, reset the brace, and press again for the next rep.
