Kettlebell Triceps Extension (Overhead)

How to do it

1. Stand with feet shoulder-width apart, holding a kettlebell by the horns with both hands and pressing it overhead to start.
2. Keep the upper arms close to the ears as you bend the elbows to lower the kettlebell behind the head.
3. Extend the elbows to press the kettlebell back overhead, working the triceps brachii through the full range.
4. Brace the core to keep the ribs down and prevent the lower back from arching as the weight lowers.
5. Inhale as the kettlebell lowers, exhale as you press it back to the top.
6. Common fault: avoid letting the elbows flare outward or gripping the horns so loosely that the kettlebell tips.
