How to do a kettlebell clean and press
How to do a kettlebell clean
- Stand with your feet hip width apart with the kettlebell between your feet, turned sideways
- Bend down and grip the kettlebell at the end of the handle with one hand
- Drive through your glutes to stand up and bring the kettlebell up so it's resting on the outside of your forearm - this is the front rack position
How to do a kettlebell push press
- From your kettlebell clean, slightly bend your knees, keeping your chest upright
- Push the kettlebell up overhead as you drive up through your glutes to standing
How to do a kettlebell strict press
- From your kettlebell clean, push the kettlebell up into the air, keeping your core tight and back straight
- Lower the kettlebell back down into the front rack position
How to do a kettlebell split jerk
- From your kettlebell clean, slightly bend your knees, keeping your chest upright
- Drive the kettlebell up overhead as you push up with your glutes and jump your legs into a lunge. Keep your free arm stretched out to the side for balance
