Kettlebell Hang Clean
A dynamic exercise that utilizes kettlebells to engage multiple muscle groups with a burst of energy.
Instructions
- Stand with feet shoulder-width apart, holding a kettlebell in each hand with arms fully extended.
- Engage your core and keep your back straight as you hinge at the hips, lowering the kettlebells to just above knee height.
- Forcefully extend your hips and knees, allowing momentum to carry the kettlebells upward.
- As the kettlebells approach chest level, quickly rotate your wrists to catch the kettlebells on the outside of your forearms in a racked position.
- Stand tall as you complete the catch.
- Reverse the motion to return to the starting position and repeat.
Common Mistakes to Avoid
- Rounding the back during the lift instead of maintaining a straight spine.
- Not using the hips to drive the kettlebells upwards.
- Failing to rotate the wrists quickly enough to catch the kettlebells in the racked position.
- Using too much arm to lift the kettlebell rather than relying on the momentum created by the hips.
