kettlebell sumo high pull
To perform the kettlebell sumo high pull, follow these steps:
1. Stand with your feet wider than shoulder-width apart, toes pointed slightly outward. Place a kettlebell on the floor between your feet.
2. Squat down and grab the kettlebell with both hands, keeping your back straight and chest up. This is your starting position.
3. Push through your heels to stand up straight, pulling the kettlebell up to your chest as you do so. Your elbows should be pointed out to the sides and the kettlebell should be close to your body.
4. At the top of the movement, your body should be fully extended and the kettlebell should be at chest level.
5. Lower the kettlebell back down to the starting position in a controlled manner, maintaining the straightness of your back.
6. Repeat the movement for the desired number of repetitions.
Remember to keep your core engaged throughout the exercise and avoid rounding your back. The power for the high pull should come from your legs and hips, not your arms. This exercise targets the traps, but also works the legs, glutes, and core.
