Kettlebell Dead Clean
The kettlebell clean from a dead stop on the floor every rep, with no swing; the hips alone bring the bell to the rack.
How to do it
Setup
Bell on the floor between the feet, hinged with a flat back, one hand on the handle, the other arm free.
Steps
- Drive the hips through and pull the bell up close to the body.
- Rotate the hand around the handle and let the bell land softly in the rack.
- Hinge to set the bell back on the floor; switch hands after the set.
Common mistakes
Bell banging the forearm: rotate the hand early and keep the bell close. Lifting with the arm: the hips send it, the arm guides. Rounding to set it down: hinge back to the floor with a flat back.
Breathing
Exhale on the clean, inhale setting it down.
