Kettlebell Overhead Carry

The kettlebell overhead carry builds shoulder stability and core strength by forcing you to maintain a locked-out overhead position while walking. Press or snatch a bell overhead and walk for distance or time.

How to Perform

1

Press or snatch the kettlebell to full lockout with your bicep by your ear.

2

Brace your core and pull your ribs down to prevent arching.

3

Walk in a straight line with controlled, even steps.

4

Keep your wrist straight and the bell balanced directly over your shoulder.

Common Mistakes to Avoid

Leaning away from the bell instead of staying stacked and upright.

Arching the lower back to compensate for poor overhead mobility.

Walking too fast and losing overhead stability.
