Long Description
- Stand at about shoulder width in the starting position, the toes point forward. The upper body bends forward so that the entended arm holds the Smashbell just above the ground. The eyes look forward.
- From this position the extended arm swings back between the legs.
- The arm with the Smashbell swings up and pulls it up close to the body. While doing so work from the legs that are extended, and bring the hips forward to increase the momentum. At chest level, bring the elbow back while the forearm continues to swing upwards. At the turning point, extend the arm explosively and push the kettlebell up over the head.
- The returning movement is led by bending the arm so that the Smashbell rests on the chest. From this position the forearm is extended and the elbow is opened. To end the knees are slightly bent and the upper body is bent forward with a straight back.
Tips
Keep back straight during the entire exercise. Momentum is increased by extending the hips.
