Kettlebell Squat 1.5 Reps
Hold the kettlebell between your legs; do a half squat, then immediately a full squat – together that is one rep.
How to do it
Setup
Feet shoulder-width, kettlebell hanging in both hands between the legs; chest up.
Steps
- Squat to full depth.
- Rise only halfway, then sink back down.
- Now stand all the way up – that whole sequence is one rep.
Common mistakes
Rushing the half rep: the pause under tension IS the exercise; keep it slow. Torso folding forward: the kettlebell hangs, the back stays tall. Knees caving on the second rise: push them out every time.
Breathing
Inhale down, short exhale at the half, full exhale standing up.
