How to do the Kettlebell Double Barn Door

Four opening-and-closing repetitions, using Dustin's name for the movement. Start with both bells racked in front of the shoulders. Open the bent elbows to the sides at shoulder height, then bring them back together in front. The bells stay near shoulder height throughout; there is no overhead press. Use a comfortable range and a load you can control.
