Notes.
- You should feel a stretch in your shoulders and chest but avoid over arching your back or going past the point that you feel comfortable.
Technique.
- Lie on the ground and hold a kettle bell in both hands directly above your chest. Your arms should be slightly bent and this is your starting position.
- Carefully lower the weight behind your head keeping your arms straight until the kettle bell touches the ground or your body is stretched to the limit of what feels comfortable.
- Lift the weight back to the starting position, keeping your arms straight until it is over your chest again.
