Kettlebell Push-Up
The kettlebell push-up uses kettlebells as handles to increase range of motion and wrist comfort during push-ups. Grip the handles and lower your chest below handle height for a deeper stretch than standard push-ups allow.
How to Perform
Place two kettlebells shoulder-width apart and grip the handles firmly.
Set up in a push-up position with your body in a straight line.
Lower your chest below the handles for a deep stretch across the pecs.
Press back up to full arm extension, squeezing the chest at the top.
Keep your core tight and avoid sagging hips.
Common Mistakes to Avoid
Not using the extra range of motion — lower past the handles for the full benefit.
Using kettlebells that are unstable and wobbling during the movement.
Flaring the elbows wide instead of keeping them at 45 degrees.
