Raised Kettlebell Deadlift: Build Lower Body Strength & Stability for a Powerful Golf Swing

A regression of the hex bar deadlift using kettlebells on plates. Improves strength, stability, and power while reducing strain

Key Points

    • The hex bar deadlift is a top-tier golf strength exercise—but not everyone has access or the technique for it.
    • Great for building lower body strength and power, which directly translates to a more stable and powerful golf swing.

  • Setup:

    • Feet in line with kettlebells.

    • At the bottom: chest up, hips down, spine neutral.

    • Drive through heels to lift with a tall chest, then return the kettlebells slowly to the plates.

    • This regression uses two kettlebells raised on plates, reducing the range of motion and making it easier to perform.

    • Also helps with injury prevention, especially for the lower back, knees, and legs.
    • Rep suggestion: 6–10 reps × 3–4 sets, with good form.
