Grip the kettlebell with the hand on the kettlebell side, brace your core, keep your back neutral, and hinge at the hips by pushing your hips back.

Pull the kettlebell up by extending your hips and knees at the same time. Let the thoracic rotation unwind toward a neutral position and squeeze your glutes at full extension.
