Kettlebell Squat Pulse
Hold the kettlebell between your legs and pulse fast in the bottom half of the squat: the kettlebell rises about a hand's width off the floor and the knees never straighten, so the thighs stay under tension the whole set. Timed, not counted.
How to do it
Setup
Feet shoulder-width, kettlebell hanging in both hands; sit into a deep squat.
Steps
- Pulse up and down in the bottom half – the bell rises about a hand's width.
- Keep the heels planted and the chest up.
- Stay in the pulse for the whole set, no standing between reps.
Common mistakes
Standing up between pulses: the tension resets; stay low. Bouncing off the bottom: reverse smoothly, no rebound. Weight rolling to the toes: keep mid-foot pressure.
Breathing
Short steady breaths in rhythm with the pulses; never held.
