WTF does "lift with your legs" even mean? By getting grounded, stabilizing your core, and learning how to generate force through your legs, lifting not just feels easier, but gets a hell of a lot safer. Which is great news if you're strength training or just need to move that heavy ass air conditioner next summer.

How to do a kettlebell deadlift

1. Place your feet on either side of a kettlebell, shoulder-width with toes forward-ish.

2. Press your hips back behind you into a hinge. Keep your spine long, and make sure your head is above your shoulders, shoulders above hips, and hips above knees. Brace your core.

3. Grip the bell and press down into your heels to stand up.

4. Lower the bell with control.
