How to: Kettlebell Romanian Deadlift
Begin by standing tall with your feet hip-width apart, holding a kettlebell in front of your thighs.
With a slight bend in your knees, hinge at your hips and push your hips back while lowering the kettlebell toward the floor.
Keep your back straight and shoulders pulled back.
Lower the kettlebell until you feel a stretch in your hamstrings, but do not let your back round.
Reverse the movement by pushing through your heels to stand up straight, bringing the kettlebell back to the starting position.
Common Mistakes
Rounding the back during the lift.
Bending the knees too much.
Not maintaining balance during the movement.
Modifications
Perform with a lighter kettlebell for beginners.
Use a block or platform to limit the range of motion.
Tips
Keep your back straight and core engaged during the movement.
Use a lighter kettlebell to maintain form before progressing to heavier weights.
Focus on pushing your hips back rather than bending your knees.
