Kettlebell Deadlift
Picking a kettlebell up from between your feet with a flat back, the safest way to learn to lift from the floor.
Demo by Maya, an AI coach.

- glutes, hamstrings; also quads, lower back, forearms
- Kit
- Kettlebell
- Dose
- 8 to 12 reps
It goes into the workout in progress at the Bench, as a new group in its main set.
Set up
Stand with your feet hip width apart and a kettlebell on the floor between your arches. Push your hips back, bend your knees and grip the handle with both hands.
While you move
- Hips back, chest forward
- Squeeze the handle, shoulders down
- Push the floor away to stand
- Lower it the same way
Avoid
- Rounding your back to reach the bell
- Lifting with your arms
- Leaning back at the top
Take care if you have trouble with your lower back.
