Maintain a straight back as you hinge at the waist and lower the weight. Lift your left leg off the ground, and lean slightly forward. Begin your single-leg RDL holding a dumbbell in your right hand. As one of the most effective and efficient lower body strengtheners out there, the kettlebell deadlift is an exercise that boasts big gains for those. Or, it can simply be used as a variation to perform every once in a while as it could assist the deadlift or swing movements. Single-leg Romanian Deadlifts can be performed with a pair of dumbbells, a single weight, kettlebells, or a barbell.
KETTLEBELL OR DUMBBELL DEADLIFTS FULL
However, another option is to begin with heavy kettlebell deadlifts, transition into the modified deadlift/swing, and finally into the full swing. As time ensues, barbell loading can increase in and heavier kettlebells can be utilized. If you only have lighter kettlebells, it’s perfectly acceptable to simply perform the barbell deadlift in addition to lighter kettlebell swings. I tried this out myself and found that it was an excellent glute exercise and served as an intermediate between kettlebell deadlifts and heavy ass kettlebell swings. A kettlebell is a great piece of all-in-one equipment that allows you to do many of the exercises you can achieve with a dumbbell, but it allows for an even greater range of motion. The kettlebell would sink back and rise up in an arced motion (sort of a half-deadlift/half-swing movement). Kettlebell deadlifts are the one effective workout that helps you improve certain areas of the body like the back (lower), glutes and right body posture. Examples include kettlebell swings and single-leg deadlifts, where the kettlebell pulls against gravity to help you maintain the tempo and consistency necessary for each exercise. One thing I noticed with my stronger female clients is that when they’d perform heavy kettlebell deadlifts, many would naturally begin to perform a modified swinging motion. I learn many things from observing clients.
