How to do Kettlebell Gorilla Row

  1. Stand over two kettlebells with feet wider than shoulder width and toes turned slightly out.
  2. Hinge at the hips and grip both handles with a flat back, chest proud, and arms hanging straight down.
  3. Brace your core and row the right kettlebell to your hip, keeping the elbow close to the ribs.
  4. Lower the right bell back to the floor under control while keeping the left arm long and loaded.
  5. Row the left kettlebell to your hip with the same tight elbow path, fighting any rotation in the torso.
  6. Continue alternating sides for the full set, keeping the hips square and the back flat throughout.
