How to do Kettlebell Upright Row
Setup
Stand tall holding a kettlebell by the handle with both hands, arms extended in front of your thighs and feet hip-width apart.
How to do it
- Pull the kettlebell straight up along your body until it reaches chest height
- Lead with your elbows so they stay above the handle throughout the pull
- Pause briefly at the top, then lower along the same path under control
- Keep your torso upright and core braced with no swinging
Watch out for
- Using hip or leg momentum to heave the kettlebell up instead of a strict shoulder pull
- Pulling the kettlebell so high that the wrists end up above the elbows, stressing the shoulder joint
