I did kettlebell single leg deadlifts everyday for a week — here's what happened to my body

Do you love the post deadlift pump as much as I do? If you answered yes then you’ll love the kettlebell single leg deadlift and if you answered no, don’t knock it until you try it. 

I don’t own my own barbell but I do own one of the best kettlebells which I use regularly when I can’t get to the gym. So, I decided to make kettlebell single leg deadlifts my one and only lower body exercise every day for a week.

This is a move I latched onto while trying to keep up with the best strength and conditioning exercises for runners during half-marathon training earlier this year. The single-leg kettlebell deadlift is a functional, compound exercise that primarily targets the posterior chain, including the hamstrings, glutes, and lower back. Additionally, it engages the core and improves balance and stability, making it a valuable unilateral movement for overall strength and injury prevention. It's not one to be missed by any runners reading this.
