One Arm Kettlebell Clean

Master the skill of cleaning a kettlebell to shoulder-level with one arm for strength and power.

Instructions

• Stand with your feet hip-width apart, holding a kettlebell in one hand.
• Swing the kettlebell back between your legs, bending slightly at the knees.
• Drive through your legs and hips to thrust the kettlebell upwards near your chest.
• Rotate your wrist as the kettlebell rises, ending in a rack position at shoulder level.
• Keep your elbow close to your body and maintain a neutral wrist position.
• Reverse the motion to return to the starting position.

Common Mistakes to Avoid

• Over-rotating the wrist, causing strain.
• Swinging the kettlebell too far from the body.
• Not engaging the hips enough for momentum.
• Poor wrist and elbow positioning.
