    Kettlebell Single Arm Deadlift

    by Sam Franklin

    Step by Step Guide to the Single Arm Deadlift

    Step 1: The Kettlebell Single Arm Deadlift

    This movement assumes that you have learnt the 2 hands on one bell deadlift, so please make sure you watch that video before trying this.  To start, line up the malleolus (the ankle bones) with the horn of the bell.

    Step 2: The Kettlebell Single Arm Deadlift

    Press the little fingers into the hip crease to chop and drop the hips and find the hip hinge position.

    Step 3: The Kettlebell Single Arm Deadlift

    Put one hand on the bell.  The other arm should be forward, in the high guard position, with a fist fold.  Pack the shoulders - squeeze the shoulder blades back and down.

    Step 4: The Kettlebell Single Arm Deadlift

    Push the floor away and stand tall, holding the kettlebell in front of you.  Make sure your abs are braced and glutes are squeezed.  

    Step 5: The Kettlebell Single Arm Deadlift

    Guide the kettlebell back down to the floor.  Pack the shoulder again, push the floor away and drive up.  Inhale on the way down, exhale when you drive up.  Every rep, keep the abs strong and squeeze the glutes at the top.
