Kettlebell One Arm Clean and Press

Expert Advice

Use the momentum from your hips to help 'clean' the kettlebell to your shoulder before pressing, rather than relying solely on arm strength.

How-to-do Steps

  1. Stand with feet shoulder-width apart, a kettlebell between your feet.
  2. Bend at the hips and knees to squat down and grab the kettlebell with one hand.
  3. In one fluid motion, extend your hips and knees to swing the kettlebell up, rotating your wrist to bring it to your shoulder.
  4. Press the kettlebell overhead until your arm is fully extended.
  5. Lower the kettlebell back to your shoulder and then to the starting position.
  6. Repeat for the desired number of repetitions before switching arms.
