How to do it
- Place one kettlebell between your feet. Clean the kettlebell by extending through the legs and hips as you raise the kettlebell towards your shoulders.
- Release the kettlebell as it comes up, and let it flip so that the ball of the kettlebell lands in the palms of your hands.
- Release the kettlebell out in front of you and catch the handle with both hands. Lower the kettlebell to the starting position and repeat.
Form tips
- Start light and own the movement before adding weight.
- Control the lowering phase — don't drop into it.
- Keep breathing; exhale on the hardest part.
- Stop if you feel sharp pain (different from muscle burn).
