Kettlebell Sumo High Pull demonstration gif

Instructions:

  • 1Start with your feet wider than shoulder-width apart, toes pointing outwards, and a kettlebell on the ground between your legs
  • 2Bend at your hips while keeping your back straight, and grip the kettlebell with both hands
  • 3Straighten up while pulling the kettlebell up towards your chin - your elbows should aim to reach higher than your shoulders
  • 4Hold the kettlebell at peak for a moment, then lower it back in a controlled fashion to the starting position
  • 5Repeat the movements for your set number of repetitions

Tips:

  • Keep your core engaged throughout the exercise to maintain balance
  • Ensure your back remains straight - refrain from rounding your shoulders
  • Drive your hip forward and squeeze your glutes at the top of the movement
  • Concentrate on pulling your elbows up and out, rather than lifting the kettlebell with your hands
