Kettlebell Thruster
A compound exercise that works multiple muscle groups, ideal for building strength and endurance.
Instructions
- Begin with feet shoulder-width apart, holding a kettlebell in each hand at shoulder height.
- Squat down by bending at the knees and hips, keeping the kettlebells at shoulder height.
- Drive through your heels to return to standing as you press the kettlebells overhead, fully extending your arms.
- Lower the kettlebells back to shoulder height and repeat.
Common Mistakes to Avoid
- Allowing knees to collapse inward during the squat.
- Using too much momentum to thrust the weight overhead.
- Not fully extending the arms overhead.
