Kettlebell High Pull Overview

The kettlebell high pull is a compound exercise that primarily targets the legs, lower back, and shoulders.

It involves a hip hinge movement, where the kettlebell is swung up to shoulder height using explosive power.

This exercise engages the quadriceps, hamstrings, glutes, erector spinae, and deltoids, providing a full-body workout.

While other muscles are involved, the kettlebell high pull mainly focuses on the legs, lower back, and shoulders.

Kettlebell High Pull Tips

  2. Grip the kettlebell handle firmly with both hands, palms facing towards you, and maintain a strong grip throughout the exercise.
  3. Engage your legs by driving through your heels and explosively extend your hips and knees, generating power to lift the kettlebell towards your shoulders.
  4. As you pull the kettlebell upwards, keep your elbows high and wide, leading with your elbows to engage your shoulders and upper back muscles.
