How to do it

1. Lie on a flat bench with your feet on the floor, holding a kettlebell by the horns with both hands above your chest, arms almost straight.
2. Keeping a slight bend in your elbows, lower the kettlebell in an arc behind your head until you feel a stretch in your chest and lats.
3. Pull the kettlebell back over your chest along the same arc.
4. Repeat for the desired number of reps.

Form tips

• Keep your elbows at the same slight bend throughout.
• Brace your core so your lower back doesn't arch as the weight goes behind your head.
• Lower only as far as your shoulders allow without pain.
