How to: Kettlebell Deadlift
- Stand with your feet shoulder-width apart and place the kettlebell in front of you on the floor.
- Bend at the hips and knees to grasp the kettlebell with both hands, keeping your back straight and your chest up.
- With your weight in your heels, push through your heels to stand up, lifting the kettlebell off the ground.
- Lower the kettlebell back to the starting position by bending at the hips and knees, maintaining a straight back.
Common Mistakes
- Rounding the back during the lift.
- Lifting the kettlebell with the arms instead of the legs.
- Not using a full range of motion.
Modifications
- Use a lighter kettlebell or perform the exercise without weights.
- Perform the deadlift with a single leg for a balance challenge.
Tips
- Keep your core engaged throughout the movement.
- Avoid rounding your back; maintain a neutral spine.
- Focus on using your hips to lift the weight rather than your back.
