How to Perform Kettlebell Clean
The kettlebell clean is a dynamic full-body exercise that builds power while targeting the glutes, hamstrings, core, shoulders, and upper back. Performed by explosively extending the hips to drive the kettlebell upward, the movement guides the bell smoothly into the rack position at shoulder height without excessive swinging or impact on the forearm. Emphasizing strong hip drive, a tight core, and controlled catch helps develop coordination, strength, and efficient movement patterns.
