How to do it
Keep your grip firm and your shoulder packed throughout each rep.
- 1
Stand with feet shoulder-width apart, a kettlebell between your feet.
- 2
Bend at the hips and knees to grip the kettlebell with one hand.
- 3
Explosively extend your hips and knees to lift the kettlebell, pulling it towards your shoulder.
- 4
Rotate your wrist as the kettlebell rises to 'catch' it at shoulder height with your elbow tucked in.
- 5
Lower the kettlebell back to the ground and repeat for the desired number of repetitions before switching arms.
Expert tip
Use the power from your hips to drive the kettlebell up, keeping your wrist straight and elbow close to your body during the clean.
