⚠️ Most common mistake: Pressing the kettlebells overhead before standing fully upright, which kills the leg drive. Letting the chest collapse forward at the bottom of the squat, dumping the bells out of the rack. Letting the knees cave inward at the bottom of the squat, which loads the joints unsafely. Going too heavy and turning the rep into a clean-and-press instead of a fluid thruster.
💪 Where you should feel it: Mainly in the Glutes. The Shoulders assist.
