Execution
How to do it
- 01
Kettlebell on the floor between your feet, feet shoulder-width apart.
- 02
Push your hips back, back straight and chest up, then grip the handle with both hands.
- 03
Press your feet into the floor and drive your hips forward to stand up.
- 04
Finish tall with shoulders back, then lower by pushing your hips back, back still straight.
Lifting with your back: your glutes and the back of your thighs should do the work.
A kettlebell between the feet rather than a barbell. Sources: ACE — Deadlift. These cues do not replace a professional if you have pain or are in rehabilitation.
The decision
When this movement makes sense
It loads the hinge without requiring a pair and keeps the configuration simple for a home inventory.
A pair of dumbbells calls for a different two-sided variant; a single load must not be doubled in the history.
