Kettlebell Dead Clean
A 200-characters-or-less explanation of the exercise.
Instructions
- Stand with feet shoulder-width apart, kettlebell between feet.
- Hinge at the hips to lower yourself, keeping the back straight.
- Grab the kettlebell handle with one hand, palm facing inward.
- Drive through the heels and straighten your hips to lift the kettlebell off the ground.
- As the kettlebell reaches hip level, pull it upwards and tuck your elbow close to your body.
- Rotate your wrist, allowing the kettlebell to roll onto the outside of your forearm into the rack position.
- Stand up straight, with the kettlebell resting comfortably, then reverse the movement to return to the start.
Common Mistakes to Avoid
- Allowing the back to round during the lift.
- Swinging the kettlebell with the arm instead of driving through the hips.
- Not maintaining a tight core throughout the movement.
