How to do a kettlebell clean

  1. Stand over kettlebell with feet hip-width apart
  2. Hinge at hips and grab kettlebell handle
  3. Drive hips forward explosively while pulling kettlebell upward
  4. Guide kettlebell around wrist as it rises
  5. Catch kettlebell in rack position at shoulder
  6. Lower kettlebell back to starting position with control

Form tips

  • Keep your back straight and chest up throughout the movement
  • Use hip drive, not arm pull, to generate power
  • Let the kettlebell flip around your wrist smoothly into rack position
  • Keep your core engaged to protect your lower back
  • Practice the hip hinge movement before adding explosive power
