Kettlebell Rotational Deadlift
The kettlebell deadlift that alternates sides: pick the bell up from outside one foot, stand with it in the middle, then set it down outside the other foot.
How to do it
Setup
Wide stance, the kettlebell on the floor outside one foot, both hands on the handle, hips back, back flat.
Steps
- Turn the chest toward the bell and hinge down to grip it.
- Stand up, bringing the bell to the center line.
- Hinge and turn to set it outside the other foot; alternate.
Common mistakes
Twisting through the lower back: pivot the hips and the chest together. Rounding to reach the bell: bend the knees more. Rushing the turns: a controlled lift on each side.
Breathing
Inhale at the bottom, exhale standing.
