Deck Squat to Sprawl

Deck Squat to Sprawl

This fun kettlebell training movement combines quite a bit of athleticism and challenge to a training session.

The deck squat challenges your ability to squat deep and essentially fall to your butt gracefully and roll up onto your shoulder to gain momentum back towards getting onto your feet. Once you’ve got your two feet under you, immediately shoot the legs back and catch yourself with your arms extended in a sprawl pattern.

Enjoy trying this exercise and having fun with the ability to move well!

This is a very functional exercise for every human to mix into their kettlebell training routine. Traditional strength coaches minimize movements like these, but movement experts, wrestlers, MMA fighters, and Jiu Jitsu athletes will all mix these movements into their kettlebell training sessions.

Watch Coach Brandon and make sure to coordinate this movement correctly. Like any exercise, even bodyweight exercises can be done poorly.
