Kettlebell Suitcase Deadlift

BeginnerKettlebell

A single-sided deadlift where you hold a kettlebell at one hip like a suitcase. Loading only one side forces your core and obliques to fight the urge to lean, which builds anti-lateral-flexion strength on top of the usual leg and posterior-chain work. It's also a clean way to spot and fix left-right imbalances.

How to do it

  1. 1

    Stand with feet about shoulder-width apart and a kettlebell resting beside one foot.

  2. 2

    Keep your arm straight and grip the bell, staying tall and squared up.

  3. 3

    Press your feet firmly into the ground and keep them planted throughout.

  4. 4

    Push your hips back and bend your knees to lower, keeping your chest and eyes forward and your back flat.

  5. 5

    Descend until your thighs approach parallel and the bell is near the floor, resisting any lean to that side.

  6. 6

    Squeeze your glutes and drive your hips forward to stand back up.
