Kettlebell Sumo Deadlift High Pull
The sumo deadlift high pull with a kettlebell in each hand: from a wide stance the bells leave the floor together and rise to the chest, elbows flaring high.
How to do it
Setup
Wide stance, toes out, a kettlebell in each hand on the floor between the feet, back flat.
Steps
- Stand up, driving the hips forward, both bells rising together.
- Keep pulling the bells to the chest, elbows up and out.
- Let them down to the hips, then sit back to the floor.
Common mistakes
Bells swinging forward away from the body: keep them close, rising straight up. One bell lagging behind the other: pull both at the same speed. Hips shooting up first: the chest and hips rise together off the floor.
Breathing
Inhale at the bottom, exhale through the pull.
