Kettlebell Alternating Hang Clean
Two bells hang in front of the thighs and are cleaned to the rack one at a time; a short hip drive from the hang lifts each.
How to do it
Setup
Feet hip-width, a bell hanging in each hand in front of the thighs, knees soft, chest up.
Steps
- Hinge back until the bells reach the tops of the knees.
- Snap the hips through and guide ONE bell close to the body into the rack.
- Lower it back to the hang and clean the other one.
Common mistakes
Pulling with the biceps instead of snapping the hips: the arm steers, the hips lift. Bell crashing onto the forearm in the rack: turn the hand around the handle early and keep the bell close. Hanging bell swinging while the other rises: hold it still against the thigh.
Breathing
Inhale in the hinge, exhale on the catch.
