Kettlebell Clean
Hike the bell between the legs, drive the hips and guide it into the rack position without banging the wrist; the elbow stays close to the body.
How to do it
Setup
Bell between the feet, hinge and grip, back flat.
Steps
- Hike the bell back between the legs.
- Drive the hips and guide it up CLOSE to the body.
- Catch soft in the rack, wrist straight.
Common mistakes
Bell looping wide and banging the forearm: keep the arc tight; the catch is silent. Curling it up: the HIPS lift, the arm guides. Wrist bent in the rack: knuckles up.
Breathing
Inhale on the hike, exhale on the catch.
