Technique

How to perform Alternating Renegade Row

  1. Place two stable kettlebells about shoulder-width apart and hold their handles.
  2. Step the feet back into a straight-body plank, widening the stance as needed to maintain control.
  3. Keep one hand pressing into its handle while drawing the other bell toward your side.
  4. Keep the hips and chest facing the floor rather than turning with the rowing arm.
  5. Return the bell to the floor under control.
  6. Row the opposite bell in the same manner without adding a push-up between repetitions.
