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 glutes to bring the hips forward as you raise the arms up and pull with the deltoids. Control the bell back down to the ground. ADVANTAGES: Great way to work hinge and pull pattern together into a moderately difficult movement. FAULTS: Take care to brace the core and not round the back. Make sure the hinge pattern is being used throughout the movement and that the weight of the kettle is not controlling the motion. SCALING: A lighter weight is always suggested first. If you find that you cannot easily reach the ground (due to tight hamstrings) you can pull from an elevated position.
