Partial One Hand Deadlifts

I had a great call from a customer about the Kettlebell Handles.

He has been working his One Hand Barbell Deadlifts.  Well, one classic way to increase poundage pretty quickly is to train with partials.  He found that the Kettlebell Handles can kill two birds with one stone.

He set up a couple of standard size bars, in a semi-permanent type situation, with a kettlebell handle in the center of the bar.  This way he doesn't need to do test lifts to find the center of the bar, while he is also turning the lift into a partial movement.  The Kettlebell Handle raises the “starting height” by about four inches.  He then uses our Allen Collars on the inside edges of his kettlebell handle, so there is even less that can catch on his leg.

Try this out.  It is a pretty cool way to lift.

Live strong,
