How to do a kettlebell bent over row

Setup:

1. Kettlebell Placement: Place two kettlebells on the floor in front of you, shoulder-width apart.
2. Stance: Stand with your feet shoulder-width apart, toes pointed slightly outwards.
3. Hip Hinge: Push your hips back and bend your knees slightly to lower your torso until it's almost parallel to the floor. Keep your back flat and your chest lifted.
4. Grip: Grasp the kettlebell handles with a neutral grip (palms facing each other).

The Lift:

1. Row Upward: Engage your back muscles and pull the kettlebells up towards your torso. Your elbows should stay close to your body and point back as you row.
2. Squeeze at the Top: Squeeze your shoulder blades together at the top of the movement.
3. Controlled Lowering: Slowly lower the kettlebells back to the starting position, resisting the urge to drop them.

Tips:

• Focus on the Back: Think about using your back muscles to lift the weight, not just your arms.
• Hip Hinge: Maintain a strong hip hinge throughout the movement. Your hips should move back as you lower the kettlebells and forward as you pull them up.
• Neutral Spine: Keep your back flat and avoid rounding your shoulders forward.
• Elbow Position: Keep your elbows close to your body as you row the kettlebells up.
