The Double Kettlebell Alternating Hang Clean is like a bear's version of a dance - smooth, strong, and rhythmic. As you alternate each clean, think of it as a powerful yet graceful movement, building strength and coordination. Keep it steady, and you'll be mastering this in no time!

Instructions

  1. Stand with feet shoulder-width apart, holding a kettlebell in each hand.
  2. Bend slightly at the hips and knees to lower the kettlebells between your legs.
  3. Explosively extend your hips and knees while pulling the kettlebells upward.
  4. As one kettlebell reaches shoulder height, quickly rotate your wrist to catch the kettlebell in a front rack position while simultaneously lowering the other kettlebell back to the hanging position.
  5. Continue to alternate the movement for the desired number of repetitions.
