How to do it

  1. 01

    Place one kettlebell between your feet. Clean the kettlebell by extending through the legs and hips as you raise the kettlebell towards your shoulders.

  2. 02

    Release the kettlebell as it comes up, and let it flip so that the ball of the kettlebell lands in the palms of your hands.

  3. 03

    Release the kettlebell out in front of you and catch the handle with both hands. Lower the kettlebell to the starting position and repeat.

In the app

Open Palm 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.
