Kettlebell One-Legged Deadlift

Technique

How to perform Kettlebell One-Legged Deadlift

1. Hold one kettlebell in your right hand and stand on your right leg.
2. Keep a slight bend in the standing knee and your hips facing the floor as you hinge forward.
3. Reach your free leg backward while letting the bell lower beneath the loaded shoulder.
4. Lower only as far as you can maintain the hinge and control your pelvis, with your torso approaching horizontal if that position is available.
5. Drive through the standing foot and extend the hip to return upright without swinging the free leg forward.
6. Finish the set, then switch both the holding hand and standing leg.
