Intro to the Kettlebell Clean

Before you learn the kettlebell clean, you should be familiar with the kettlebell deadlift and one arm swing!

The clean seems to be a little more challenging than the snatch to learn (IMO and likely due to turning the dial down a bit from a swing), but I still always prefer students know how to swing, then clean and then snatch.

I'd love to know what was helpful! And, if you'd like to learn more I have several workshops this year where we will discuss the clean in detail. Get more info here.
