Kettlebell Bent-Leg Deadlift

The deadlift is one of the best butt exercises around, and this kettlebell variation is one way to do it. Hardstyle Kettlebell-certified trainer Lynn Montoya, ACE, recommends using a heavy weight to really feel the burn.

  • Stand with your feet shoulder-width apart, and place a kettlebell on the ground in front of your feet.
  • Hinge your hips backward while bracing your core and keeping your chest up. Lower into a squat.
  • At the bottom of your squat, grab the kettlebell with both hands by the handle.
  • Slowly stand, keeping the kettlebell close to your body.
  • Squeeze your glutes for a few seconds at the top.
  • Repeat the steps to sink back into a squat and place the dumbbell back on the ground. This counts as one rep.
