Instructions

1. Stand with your feet approximately shoulder-width apart, with two kettlebells placed between your feet.

2. Hinge at the hips and bend your knees slightly to lower your torso until it's almost parallel with the floor.

3. Make sure to keep your back straight and your core tight to avoid rounding your lower back.

4. Grasp the kettlebell handles with an overhand grip, palms facing your body.

5. Begin the exercise by pulling one kettlebell up towards your side while keeping your elbow close to your body and squeezing your shoulder blade towards your spine at the top of the movement.

6. Lower the kettlebell with control back to the starting position.

7. As you lower one kettlebell, begin to lift the other in a continuous and alternating fashion, simulating the movement of a gorilla walking on knuckles.

8. Retain a firm grip on the kettlebells and maintain a steady rhythm, focusing on engaging your back muscles with each row.

9. Continue alternating rows for your desired number of repetitions or sets.
