How to do a kettlebell gorilla rows

  1. Place two kettlebells on the floor between your feet and hinge forward with a flat back, gripping one kettlebell in each hand.
  2. Brace your core and maintain a slight bend in your knees with your hips high.
  3. Pull one kettlebell up toward your hip, driving your elbow back while keeping the other arm planted for support.
  4. Lower the kettlebell under control back to the floor.
  5. Repeat the pull with the opposite arm, alternating sides in a smooth rhythm.

Form tips

  • Keep your back flat and avoid rounding your spine.
  • Drive your elbow back rather than out to the sides.
  • Resist rotating your torso as you row each side.
