How to do it

  1. 01

    Place kettlebell between your feet. To get in the starting position, push your butt back and look straight ahead.

  2. 02

    Clean kettlebell to your shoulder. Clean the kettlebell to your shoulders by extending through the legs and hips as you raise the kettlebell towards your shoulder. The wrist should rotate as you do so.

  3. 03

    Lower kettlebell to a hanging position between your legs while keeping the hamstrings loaded. Keep your head up at all times.

In the app

Kettlebell Hang Clean appears when you own a kettlebell and the day's window has room for it. Loads come from Rule 3 (Loads rise when earned, read from RPE, graded strong) and climb on the reps you actually did.

If a machine is taken the engine swaps a same-pattern movement and says why.

If you don't have a kettlebell

Same movement pattern, same primary muscles — swap by what you have.
