How to Perform Kettlebell Sumo Deadlift
The kettlebell sumo deadlift is a compound lower-body exercise that targets the glutes and inner thighs while also engaging the hamstrings, quads, and core. Performed with a wide stance and toes slightly turned out, the movement involves hinging at the hips and bending the knees to grasp the kettlebell between the legs, then driving through the heels to stand tall. Maintaining a neutral spine and controlled tempo throughout the lift helps maximize lower-body strength and hip power while reducing strain on the lower back.
