How to do it

  1. 01

    Hold a kettlebell by the handle in one hand. Stand on one leg, on the same side that you hold the kettlebell.

  2. 02

    Keeping that knee slightly bent, perform a stiff legged deadlift by bending at the hip, extending your free leg behind you for balance.

  3. 03

    Continue lowering the kettlebell until you are parallel to the ground, and then return to the upright position.

In the app

Kettlebell One-Legged Deadlift appears when you own a kettlebell and the day's window has room for it. Loads come from Rule 3 (Loads rise when earned, read from RPE, graded strong) and climb on the reps you actually did.

If a machine is taken the engine swaps a same-pattern movement and says why.

If you don't have a kettlebell

Same movement pattern, same primary muscles — swap by what you have.
