KETTLEBELL STIFF LEG DEADLIFT

This is a posterior chain strengthening and compound movement that uses a kettlebell. Start with your feet roughly hip distance apart and hands gripping the handle of the kettlebell. Hinge at the hips and maintain straight knees to maintain a neutral spine. Keep the core braced and latissimus dorsi engaged to increase lumbar stability during the movement. Lift the kettlebell up by driving the feet into the ground and extending the hips. Keep the weight as close to the body as possible during the entire lift. It is important to stand tall at the top of the movement instead of hyperextending the low back. Lower the weight by reversing the motion.
