Kettlebell Thruster

IntermediateKettlebell

The kettlebell thruster links a front squat straight into an overhead press, hitting the shoulders, triceps, and quads in one flowing movement. Using a bell in each hand keeps both sides working equally and stops the stronger side from compensating. It's a powerful, full-body builder for strength and conditioning.

How to do it

  1. 1

    Set a kettlebell outside each leg, feet shoulder-width apart and turned slightly out.

  2. 2

    Clean both bells to a racked position at your shoulders, forearms vertical and elbows tucked.

  3. 3

    Push your hips back and squat down, tracking your knees over your toes and keeping your torso upright.

  4. 4

    Descend until you're sitting between your legs while keeping a neutral spine.

  5. 5

    Drive explosively out of the squat and use that momentum to press the bells overhead.

  6. 6

    Lower the kettlebells back to the rack and repeat.
