  2. Dip your hips slightly to build tension in your legs.
  3. Drive upward explosively by extending your hips, knees, and ankles.
  4. As the kettlebells rise, press them overhead to lockout using your momentum.
  5. Split your stance if needed to stabilize the catch.
  6. Return to a standing position, then lower the kettlebells to your shoulders.
  7. Repeat for the desired number of reps.
