Kettlebell Jerk
From the rack, dip and drive the bell up with the legs, then dip again to catch it overhead on a straight arm; stand to lockout.
How to do it
Setup
Clean the bell to the rack – elbow on the ribs, forearm vertical, feet planted.
Steps
- Dip at the knees with the torso upright.
- Drive the bell up with the legs – the arm only guides.
- Dip again under the bell and catch it on a straight arm.
- Stand to lockout, then lower to the rack.
Common mistakes
Pressing instead of driving: the legs launch the bell; the arm stays soft until the catch. A long first dip: it is a bounce, not a squat. Catching on a bent arm: punch through to the lockout before you stand.
Breathing
Exhale on the drive, inhale as you reset the rack.
