One Arm Kettlebell Clean And Jerk

A bear would call this a two-part power move: zip the kettlebell to the rack, then punch it overhead with leg drive. It trains strength, timing, grip, and balance while keeping your whole body busy like a foraging sprint uphill.

Instructions

1. Stand with the kettlebell between your feet.
2. Hinge down and grip the handle with one hand.
3. Drive through your legs and clean the bell to rack.
4. Dip slightly and push the bell overhead.
5. Lock the arm out and stand tall.
6. Lower the bell back to rack, then to the floor.
