How to do it
- Stand with a kettlebell in each hand hanging between the knees, hips back, arms straight.
- Drive the hips forward and pull each bell into a rack on the forearm, close to the chest.
- Pause in the rack with the wrists straight and the trunk braced.
- Press both kettlebells overhead until the elbows lock and the biceps sit by the ears.
- Lower the bells under control back to the rack.
- Hinge the bells back to the hang and repeat the clean and press as one cycle.
Common mistakes
- Curling the bells to the rack with the arms instead of snapping them up with the hips.
- Crashing the bells onto the forearms, which means the catch was late.
- Leaning back to finish the press, which dumps the load onto the lumbar spine.
- Skipping the rack pause and turning the lift into a messy push press.
