What it is
This dynamic exercise involves passing a kettlebell from hand to hand between your legs, forming a "W" shape. It primarily targets your abdominal muscles, while also engaging your glutes, hamstrings, and shoulders. You will develop core strength and coordination with this movement.
Technique tips
- Keep your back flat throughout the entire movement.
- Initiate the bend from your hips, not your waist.
- Maintain a steady and controlled passing motion.
- Actively engage your abdominal muscles.
- Keep your gaze forward to maintain a neutral spine.
- Focus on a smooth "W" shape with the kettlebell.
How to track your progress
Log the weight and reps of each set. Straddly turns every set into an estimated one-rep max, so a heavier single and a strong set of eight both count as progress, and it flags a personal record the moment you beat your best.
