Two-Arm Kettlebell Clean Tutorial

1. Start by standing with your feet hip-width apart, kettlebells on the ground between your feet.
2. Hinge at the hips and slightly bend your knees to grab the kettlebells with an overhand grip.
3. Engage your core, keep your back straight, and explosively extend your hips and knees to lift the kettlebells off the ground.
4. As the kettlebells rise, pull them towards your shoulders by using the power generated from your lower body.
5. Catch the kettlebells at shoulder level by bending your elbows and bringing them in close to your body.
6. Lower the kettlebells back to the starting position with control and repeat the movement.

Common Mistakes

• Rounding the back: Maintain a straight back throughout the movement to prevent injury.

• Using only arm strength: The power should come from the hips and legs, not just the arms. - Allowing the kettlebells to drift away from the body: Keep the kettlebells close to your body during the lift.

Tips for Better Results

• Practice proper form with lighter kettlebells before progressing to heavier weights.

• Focus on generating power from the lower body and transferring it smoothly to lift the kettlebells. - Keep a strong grip on the kettlebells throughout the movement to maintain control.
