One for the hamstrings, glutes and back

Eric Lalor

One for the hamstrings, glutes and back.

The kettlebell deadlift, if done correctly, is a great way of building up strength in the hamstrings, glutes and back.

Instructions:

  • Place the kettlebell in front of you on the floor
  • Ensure that your feet are planted slightly wider than shoulder width apart
  • Squat down and pick up the kettlebell
  • Stand up and drive through your heels, ensuring that your chest is kept up and your back is straight
  • When the kettlebell is raised, squeeze the butt muscles and return the kettlebell to the start position
  • Repeat for 10 lifts and do 3 or 4 sets
