How to do it

  1. 01

    Place a kettlebell between your feet. As you bend down to grab the kettlebell, push your butt back and keep your eyes looking forward.

  2. 02

    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

    Return the weight to the starting position.

In the app

One-Arm Kettlebell 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.
