So, what are we missing?

We haven’t talked about the bell-side arm yet! 💡

Your arm that’s holding the bell can do some wonky, even dangerous things if you’re not aware of what’s happening.

Here are four things we DON’T want to do with that bell-side arm:

1. Bend the wrist
2. Have a soft elbow (I have a fun tip for this one 😉)
3. Reach for the sky
4. Hold the kettlebell over your face (don’t do this)

Watch this video and make sure your bell-side arm isn’t sabotaging your get-up gainz.
