How to do a kettlebell clean and press
- Stand with feet hip width apart and the kettlebell between your feet.
- Hinge at the hips, grip the handle with one hand, and hike the bell back between your legs.
- Drive your hips forward and pull the bell along your body into the rack position.
- From the rack, press the kettlebell overhead until your elbow locks out.
- Lower the bell back to the rack, then swing it down between your legs for the next rep.
- Complete all reps, then switch sides.
Form tips
- Keep the bell close to your body during the clean, it should roll around your wrist, not flip onto it.
- Brace your core and squeeze your glutes before pressing.
- Finish the press with your biceps close to your ear.
