Double kettlebell deadlift

Muscles worked

How to do it

1. Stand between two kettlebells, handles in line with the middle of the feet.
2. Hinge down with a flat back and grip both handles.
3. Brace, pack the shoulders down and push the floor away.
4. Drive the hips forward to stand tall, then hinge back down with control.

Common mistakes

• Squatting down to the bells — push the hips back to reach them.
• Rounding the back at the bottom — set the back before every rep.
• Shrugging the bells up — the arms are hooks; the hips do the lift.
