Great Deadlift Substitute – Double Kettlebell Swings For Strong Back

There is no doubt that performing the deadlift exercise is the single greatest exercises for all around strength.  However, it is a technical lift that requires regular spotting from a coach. The initial pull from the ground is the most dangerous and is where a client is most likely to be injured.

Then there is the age factor. It appears as we age our body requires a longer and longer warm up time, to the point, the warm up becomes the workout.

But what if you could do both at the same time? How about insane cardio with a thick back?

The 2 kettlebell swing did that just for me! I can swing 2 heavy kettlebells in place of the standard deadlift and reap cardio benefits to boot.
