I've been training kettlebells for ten years and now I'm teaching my wife, this is the knowledge I needed! Thank you so much for your excellent library of work. You are making the world a better place!

[reydirecthit]

Wow! Completely love how you explain things!!!!straight to the point and no messing around! ! Cheers from TX!

Drive into the ground when using the band. I was totally missing that. Thanks for the cue.

[juliehamburger]

Excellent clear simple directions easy to understand thank you.

I use the little crooked EZ bar when doing Romanian deadlifts. It’s a lot easier on balancing than the long bar. I learned to hip hinge by doing good mornings before EVERY workout!

[Simplentertainments]

The tips on hip hinges is a great help. More over, I love the love from your puppy at the end 😍. Makes me so happy!

[amritagill]

Nice. I’ve deadlifted for a few years and this was a great review! Learned a few more things :)

[MarcoRuschkowski]

Love the amazing tips and cues you offer!!

Very useful video, thank you v much. I've always encountered lower back pain doing deadlifts and could not figure out what I was doing wrong, but this video shows the right posture so well. It's also great in showing modifications. Thanks, Redefining Strength !

[ulricbloem]

Please do a similar variation video on other complex kettlebell movements like Turkish get ups and lunge to overhead lifts pretty please

I may just be me Cori but I haven't seen you in a while. This video couldn't have come at a better time... I've been slowly practicing the deadlift but would always injure my low back. However this last time I used a 20lb kettlebell (two days ago) and today my hamstrings are so sore and so tight but in a good way 👍 like you said I've always been scared of the deadlift because I have a bad back as it is and it'll aggravate my sciatic nerve and low back if I do it wrong. I tend to steer away from it but since I've been more concentrated on my form without weights, this last time around with weights, it was like a second language to me. These tips will still definitely help me though. Thanks

you're definitely brave with that cord I'd be scared it'll snap on me and I'd fall flat on my face😂🤦

[ellieharrington-iturrioz]

Omg your dog is adorable!! Lol. Also, great tips. Thank you!

[MGh-zgmc]

Thanks a lot for great explanation! Please make more of these type of videos 😍

[geerowr.]

You usually upload earlier, I was Jonesing for the vid!!! 😂THANKS. Anyway, I will watch a couple more times and add to my repertoire. Definitely have avoided the barbells due to lower back issues. The kettle bell seems like something that I can do and not fear injury.

[proceduralpuppet]

What resistance band do you use in this video? Is it called a slider? What size is it? Thank you so much! I love your videos

[VicBattlefield]

Good morning, Cori! 7 am. here and just in time for my morning wake up workout! Thank you, Coach! :-)

[nancylamb]

Just put together a compound exercise lesson plan for my group, and I can use so many of these. Thank you for your creativity!
