Instructions
1. Begin by standing with your feet shoulder-width apart while holding a kettlebell in one hand at shoulder level. The kettlebell should rest against the back of your forearm and on your bicep, in the so-called "rack position".
2. Ensure that your wrist is straight and your elbow is slightly in front of the body, not splayed out to the side.
3. Brace your core, squeeze your glutes, and press the kettlebell straight upwards, extending your arm fully. Your bicep should end up by your ear, and your body should form a straight line from the kettlebell down to your feet.
4. Keep your shoulder pulled down and back as you press, and do not let your back arch or ribs flare out.
5. Slowly lower the kettlebell back down to the starting position with control, returning to the rack position.
6. Repeat the press for the desired number of repetitions before switching arms.
Ensure to warm up properly before engaging in strength training and choose a weight that allows you to maintain proper form throughout all sets and reps. If you're new to this exercise, start with a lighter weight to get a feel for the movement.
