Kettlebell Sumo High Pull

IntermediateKettlebell

This lift blends a sumo-stance deadlift with an explosive high pull. The wide feet load the glutes and hamstrings, while the pull to shoulder height fires the upper back and traps. Combining the two develops hip power and posterior-chain strength in one athletic movement.

How to do it

  1. 1

    Stand over a kettlebell with feet wider than shoulder-width, toes turned out slightly.

  2. 2

    Brace your core and keep a neutral spine.

  3. 3

    Hinge back at the hips and grip the kettlebell with both hands, overhand.

  4. 4

    With your shins close to vertical, drive your hips forward and pull the kettlebell up close to your body, leading with high elbows.

  5. 5

    Once it reaches shoulder height, lower it back down under control and repeat.
