- Take a shoulder width, double overhand or mixed grip.
- Push your hips back while leaving your knees mostly extended. Look for a stretch in your hamstrings.
- When you feel the stretch, push your hips forward until you're back in a standing position.
- Start by lying on a bench with your foot on the ground and a barbell on your hips.
- Lift one leg off the ground and engage your glutes to raise your hips up towards the ceiling.
- From this starting position, slowly lower your hips back down to the starting position.
- Stance width can vary with a sumo DL. Some prefer toes near the plates. Others prefer a more narrow stance to get more drive off the floor.
- Make sure your arms are inside your legs. The bar should be just over your mid-foot. Flatten your back and unrack the bar
- Leave your knees mostly extended and flex and extend your hips.
- Standing up straight, using a bench as a step, raise one foot onto the bench and hold the kettlebell in the same arm as the straight leg.
- Stand and bring both feet onto the bench. Slowly lower your leg back down to the starting position.
- Repeat.
