So I decided to pull today’s article straight out of my kettlebell training archives. The original publishing date of this article was back on May 21, 2015.

If you expect to perform any quality movement with your kettlebell lifts you’ve got to be solid with your kettlebell clean technique first. I think you’ll find today’s article very helpful. Read and apply.

The kettlebell clean is one of the first movements you can perform with the iron bell because it is a prerequisite point of position for many other movements.

The thing is that there are many aspects to this lift that are missed which results in it commonly being done wrong with many lifters.
