Kettlebell - Deadlift

submitted by sandsteelpaul on 08/18/17 1

TECHNIQUE: Start with your feet hip width on either side of the kettlebell. Hinge at the hips and allow a slight knee bend. Engage the lats, brace the core, and drive through your heels as you engage the gluts to bring the hips forward. Keeping the bell tight against you, hinge the hips and lower the bell back to the start position. ADVANTAGES: The deadlift is a great hamstring strength movement and all around posterior chain movement. It allows you to work the hinge movement while you strengthen the glutes and hamstrings FAULTS: Take care to brace the core and not round the back. The 'lifting' should all come from the legs and your torso is just held tight. SCALING: If you find that you cannot easily reach the ground (due to tight hamstrings) you can deadlift from an elevated position. Or just deadlift from the upright position to the knees and back up.
