How to do kettlebell double push press

  1. Start by standing with your feet shoulder-width apart, holding a kettlebell in each hand at shoulder height.

  2. Bend your knees slightly and engage your core.

  3. Initiate the movement by explosively extending your hips, knees, and ankles, driving the kettlebells overhead.

  4. As the kettlebells reach the top, press them fully overhead, locking out your arms.

  5. Lower the kettlebells back to the starting position by bending your elbows and bringing them back down to shoulder height.

  6. Repeat for the desired number of repetitions.
