How to do the Open Palm Kettlebell Clean
- 1
Place one kettlebell between your feet. Clean the kettlebell by extending through the legs and hips as you raise the kettlebell towards your shoulders.
- 2
Release the kettlebell as it comes up, and let it flip so that the ball of the kettlebell lands in the palms of your hands.
- 3
Release the kettlebell out in front of you and catch the handle with both hands. Lower the kettlebell to the starting position and repeat.
