Kettlebell Single-Leg Deadlift
The single-leg deadlift with a kettlebell in each hand: hinge on one leg, the free leg reaching back, and stand tall again.
How to do it
Setup
Standing on one leg, knee soft, a kettlebell in each hand at the sides.
Steps
- Tip forward from the hip until the trunk and the free leg form one line.
- Let both bells hang straight down beside the standing shin.
- Squeeze the glute of the standing leg to come back up tall.
Common mistakes
Hips opening toward the free leg: keep both hip points facing the floor. Standing knee locked straight: keep it soft through the hinge. Rounding the back to reach lower: stop where the back stays flat.
Breathing
Inhale hinging, exhale standing.
