  1. Stand with feet shoulder-width apart and place a kettlebell between your feet.

  4. Engage your core and drive through your heels to lift the kettlebell, extending your hips and knees simultaneously.

  • Keep your spine neutral throughout the movement to avoid injury.
  • Focus on driving through your heels to engage the posterior chain effectively.
  • Maintain a slight bend in your knees but avoid excessive squatting motion.
  • Ensure the kettlebell stays close to your body during the lift for better leverage.
  • Practice with lighter weights initially to master form before progressing to heavier loads.
  • Breathe in as you lower the kettlebell and exhale as you lift it.
