Kettlebell Swing Clean-Grip Front Squat
A complex with a kettlebell in each hand: swing both back, clean them to the chest and front squat.
How to do it
Setup
Feet wider than the hips, a kettlebell in each hand hanging between the legs, hips hinged.
Steps
- Swing both bells back between the legs, then snap the hips through.
- Clean them to the chest, the hands up by the chin.
- Front squat, stand, and let the bells drop into the next swing.
Common mistakes
Lifting the bells with the arms: the hips throw them; the hands guide. Bells crashing onto the chest: meet them with the elbows in. Squatting before the bells are settled: rack them, then sit.
Breathing
Exhale on the swing, inhale at the chest, exhale standing.
