Deadlifts

If you're not doing barbell deadlifts, here are the instructions for kettlebell deadlifts.

  • Stand behind the barbell with your feet hip width apart.
  • Bend at your hips and knees as you grip bar with both palms facing you, or one palm facing out (mixed grip).
  • Keeping your back flat and shoulders relaxed, drive your heels through the ground as you stand straight up.
  • Squeeze your glutes at the top of the lift to ensure you get full hip extension.
  • This counts as one rep.
  • Complete 50 deadlifts.
