How to perform the movement
- Sit on a bench with the forearm on the thigh, palm down.

- Let the wrist drop, lowering the kettlebell.
- Lift the back of the hand by extending the wrist.

Technique cues and common mistakes
- Use a very light kettlebell — extensors fatigue quickly.
- Move only at the wrist.
- Hold the handle, not the bell.
