Starting Position
- lay on the ground
- encompass the kettlebell at its horns
- if you use a dumbbell, encompass it at the ends, too
- if you hold it vertically, it may touch the ground during the execution
- head and back rest on the ground
- you can bend the legs and put the feet on the ground or let them hover across the floor
- hold the weight above your head with almost fully stretched arms
Correct Execution
- lower the weight behind your head, until it is shortly above the ground
- hold the tension for a moment
- when lowering it, avoid a hollow-back
- bring the weight back up
- the arms are always slightly bent to keep strain from the joints
- the rest of your body does not move
- do several reps for an effective chest workout
