How to do Kettlebell Upright Row
Back to ExercisesInstructions
Stand with your feet shoulder width apart and the kettlebell in both hands. Tighten your core and lift the kettlebell by raising your elbows to your shoulders. Keep your elbows above your wrists. Control the kettlebell on the way back down, making sure to lower the kettlebell all the way down so your arms are fully straightened. Do not swing your upper body, try to keep your body steady and only move your arms.
