General And Specifics

Starting Position

  • pick up a dumbbell or kettlebell with one hand
  • your legs are opened shoulder width, hold the weight with stretched out arm between your ankles
  • go into the squat position, your upper body is tilted a bit, push out the bottom
  • the backs of the hands point forward
  • hold the head in extension to the spine and the back straightened
  • place the free hand on the inner side of the thigh

Correct Execution

  • hold on tight to the weight and swing your stretched arm up in a bow up to shoulder-height
  • at the same time, push the legs through push the hip forward and bring up the upper body, this gives momentum to the weight
