Kettlebell Romanian Deadlift
The Romanian deadlift with one kettlebell held by the handle in both hands, the bell tracking down the front of the legs.
How to do it
Setup
Standing tall, the bell held at the thighs with both hands, feet hip-width, knees soft.
Steps
- Send the hips back as the bell travels down the legs.
- Stop at mid-shin with the back flat.
- Drive the hips forward and finish tall.
Common mistakes
Bell drifting out in front: keep it close to the legs. Squatting the bell down: the knees stay soft and the hips go back. Swinging it up with the hips: a slow, controlled rise; this is not a swing.
Breathing
Inhale hinging, exhale standing.
