kettlebell jerk

The kettlebell jerk is a powerful lifting movement where you lift a kettlebell from shoulder height overhead using a controlled dip and drive motion. Starting with the kettlebell resting on your forearm and bicep, you rapidly dip by slightly bending your knees, then explosively extend your legs and hips to drive the kettlebell upward. As it rises, you quickly lock out your arm overhead, stabilizing the kettlebell in a steady, overhead position. This move emphasizes explosive strength, coordination, and control, engaging the shoulders, hips, and core to perform efficiently and safely.
