Back Kettlebell Strength

Step by step

1. Stand with feet shoulder-width apart and a kettlebell on the floor outside each foot.
2. Hinge at the hips with a flat back and grip both handles, letting the bells hang from straight arms.
3. Brace your core and pull both kettlebells up toward your lower ribs, leading with the elbows.
4. Squeeze your shoulder blades together at the top and keep the elbows tucked close to your sides.
5. Lower the bells slowly back toward the floor, fighting the descent for the full range.
6. Repeat for the full set without losing the hinge position or rocking the torso for momentum.
