Kettlebell Clean and Jerk
Expert Advice
Use the power from your hips and legs to drive the kettlebell up, rather than relying solely on your arms.
How-to-do Steps
- Stand with feet shoulder-width apart, a kettlebell between your feet.
- Bend at your hips and knees to squat down and grasp the kettlebell with one hand.
- In one smooth motion, extend your hips and knees to swing the kettlebell up, rotating your wrist to bring the kettlebell to your shoulder (clean).
- Dip slightly at the knees, then explosively drive up with your legs while pressing the kettlebell overhead (jerk).
- Lower the kettlebell back to the shoulder, then to the starting position.
- Repeat for the desired number of repetitions before switching arms.
