Form tips
A common mistake is rounding the back during the lift. This can lead to injury. Instead, keep your back straight and hinge at your hips. Your chest should be up, and your shoulders should be back.
When lifting the kettlebell, make sure you're using your legs and glutes, not your back. Drive through your heels to stand up straight, pulling the kettlebell up to chest height.
