Start with this as your primary movement. Warm up with 2 lighter sets first.

Form cues
  • Clean the kettlebell to the rack position, then flip it so the bottom faces the ceiling.

Advanced movement — prioritize form over weight.

Form cues

  • Lean your torso away from the bell while pressing it upward.

Finish strong — take the last set close to failure.

Form cues
  • Hold the kettlebell in the front rack position at chest height.
  • Squat down to full depth with elbows high and chest up.
  • Drive explosively out of the squat and use the momentum to press the bell overhead.

Triceps Training Tips

  • *Overhead extensions stretch the long head, which is the largest tricep head — do not skip them.
  • *Lock out every rep fully to engage the medial head.
  • *Dips and close-grip bench press allow heavier loading than isolation work.
