A classic triceps isolation movement where you hold a kettlebell overhead and bend/straighten your elbows to work the triceps through a long range of motion while keeping your upper arms mostly vertical.
Step 1
Stand tall with your feet about shoulder-width and brace your midsection. Press the kettlebell overhead and hold it with both hands, keeping your biceps close to your ears. Keep your chest down and avoid arching your lower back as you get set.
Step 2
Keep your upper arms tall and mostly still as you bend your elbows. Lower the kettlebell under control behind your head until you feel a strong stretch in your triceps. Stay braced so your ribs don’t flare and your shoulders don’t shrug up.
Step 3
Press the kettlebell back up by straightening your elbows until your arms are long overhead. Keep your upper arms close to your ears and stop just short of locking out hard if your elbows feel cranky. Stabilize at the top and repeat with the same smooth tempo.
