Kettlebell Clean and Press

Set-up

• Stand with your feet hip-width apart and a kettlebell on the floor between your feet.
• Hinge down and grip the handle with one hand.

How to do it

1. Hike the kettlebell back, then drive your hips forward to bring it up close to your body.
2. Let it roll around your hand into the rack position at your shoulder, wrist straight.
3. Press it overhead until your arm is straight, then lower it back to the rack.
4. Lower the kettlebell to the floor between reps, or as prescribed.

Coaching cues

• Keep the kettlebell close so it lands softly on your forearm.
• Brace your core and squeeze your glutes before you press.

Common mistakes

• Swinging the kettlebell wide so it bangs onto the forearm.
• Leaning back to finish the press.
