Single Arm Deadlift (Kettlebell)
Trains the hamstrings, with help from the quadriceps, glutes and lower back. You need a kettlebell. None of our programs use it yet, but you can add it to any session you build.
Free to use. The app works out every weight and times your rest.
Technique
How to do the Single Arm Deadlift (Kettlebell)
- Stand with your feet shoulder-width apart, holding a kettlebell in one hand in front of your body. Keep your back straight and shoulders back.
- Bend at your hips and knees to lower the kettlebell towards the floor, keeping your back flat.
- Push through your heels to return to the standing position, extending your hips and knees.
- Squeeze your glutes at the top of the movement, then lower the kettlebell back down in a controlled manner. Repeat for the desired number of repetitions, then switch to the other hand and repeat.
Form cues
Getting it right
- Exhale as you lift the kettlebell and inhale as you lower it.
- Ensure your knees do not cave inward; keep them aligned with your toes.
- Focus on hinging at the hips rather than bending at the waist.
