The Single Kettlebell Deadlift is a great exercise for reinforcing good ‘bend and lift’ movement mechanics.
Start by standing directly over the kettlebell. Push hips back with slight bend in the knee and a neutral spine (think about ‘closing a door’ behind you with your bum). Grab onto the horn of the kettlebell with a firm grip. With a strong exhale, lift the kettlebell by driving the legs into the ground and driving the hips forward (think about meeting the kettlebell with the thighs). Reverse the motion, pushing hips back with slight bend in the knee as you lower the kettlebell back to the starting position, ensuring that the kettlebell comes to a complete rest on the ground (you dont have to release your grip).
