Kettlebell Single-Arm Row

Kettlebell Single-Arm Row

Hinge forward at the hips with a flat back, bracing your free hand on a bench or your thigh for support and letting the kettlebell hang at arm's length from the working side. Keep your core tight and your shoulders square as you pull the bell up toward your hip, driving your elbow back and squeezing your shoulder blade. Pause briefly at the top, then lower the bell under control until your arm is fully extended. Complete all reps on one side before switching.
