Trouble engaging your hamstrings or glutes? Quad dominant from running or cycling? Coming back from an ankle, knee, or hip injury? The kickstand deadlift is a powerful posterior chain enhancer that improves your ability to ground asymmetrically. By building a strong, stable base from the ground up, you can even expect great improvements with other movements like your presses as well.

How to do a Kickstand Deadlift:

1. Start in a deadlift stance with your kettlebell between your ankles.

2. Send your hips back and reach for your bell with a long spine.

3. Shift weight onto one leg and "kickstand" your other leg diagonally back so you're on your toes.

4. Press into your grounded heel to lift
