- Hold a kettlebell in the racked position.

- Squat down ¼ squat and explosively stand back up.

- As soon as you start to stand back up, begin to press the kettlebell overhead, both actions at the same time.

- Instead of locking out your legs and hips and finishing the press, you will dip down slightly again and then drive your with your legs upward to help push up the kettlebell to the lock out position.
