Double Kettlebell Jerk
A powerful exercise that involves driving two kettlebells overhead using leg drive and momentum.
Instructions
- Start by standing with your feet shoulder-width apart, holding a kettlebell in each hand in front of your chest.
- Bend your knees slightly to perform a shallow dip.
- Immediately extend your knees and hips, using this momentum to help press the kettlebells overhead.
- As the kettlebells travel upward, dip under them slightly to lock the arms out overhead.
- Stand up fully with the kettlebells overhead, then lower them back to the starting position.
Common Mistakes to Avoid
- Failing to use the legs to drive the kettlebells overhead, relying too much on the upper body.
- Not catching the kettlebells in a dip position, which can lead to poor balance and execution.
- Rushing the movement and compromising form.
