Description

Hold a kettlebell in one hand and lower yourself into the squat position. Drive upwards with your hips, swinging the kettlebell out. Whilst the arm is on the way up, draw the hand towards the body and flip the kettlebell over to rest on your shoulder.

This position at the top of the clean is the start position for numerous other exercises. the weight should be on the shoulder with the forearm moved out slightly towards the side, allowing the weight to rest in the crook of the elbow.

From the clean position, lower yourself into a squat position and drive the hips up again, this time using the momentum of the movement to drive the arm up into a shoulder press. With control, return the weight to the clean position and back once again to the start.

Keep your back in neutral with this exercise, drawing the stomach in towards your spine.
