About

It's hard to pull with just arm strength, so it's important to raise it with standing strength!

How to Kettlebell Sumo Deadlift HighPull

Starting Position

1. Stand with your legs shoulder-width apart, with your feet slightly wider than shoulder-width and your toes turned out at a 40-50 degree angle.

2. Bend your knees and hips to make your shins vertical, and hold the kettlebell with both hands.

3. Keep your chest up and maintain tension in your back and lower body.

Proper Form

1. Move your hips back while lifting the kettlebell forward.

2. Push against the floor, applying pressure to the center of your feet.

3. When you are fully upright, lift the kettlebell to your sternum while keeping your chest open, then lower it.

4. Again, push your hips back and bend your knees to return to the starting position.

Breathing Technique

Exhale when going up, and inhale when going down.

Precautions

1. Please keep your chest open so that your shoulders do not hunch forward.

2. Engage your core to prevent your back from rounding.

3. Be careful not to let your knees come together when standing up.

4. Do not excessively arch your back while trying to keep it straight.
