Kettlebell deadlift – how to do it right

Bell between your feet, back straight, drive up with your legs.

This is how Stickfreed, our glowing stick figure, shows you the exercise on your TV – here the start, middle and end position. In the app he turns slowly so you can see everything.

How to do it

  1. Bell between your feet, stance a bit wider than hips.
  2. Hips back, back flat, shoulders over the bell.
  3. Drive up with your legs and squeeze your glutes at the top.
  4. Keep the bell close.

How long?

40–45 seconds at a steady pace: slow on the way down, strong on the way up. 2–4 rounds. With dumbbells or without weight; BLOX remembers your weight.

If something niggles

Back acting up? Then do Glute bridge instead – BLOX swaps it automatically if you mention it at the start. Stop if it hurts; if you have complaints or pre-existing conditions, check with a doctor or physio first.
