Description: PKB [PHASE 1] Session 7: Cleans & Rows

These are rated for 60 mins but they always take me 90 mins. I guess I’m slow! Otherwise, they are still fantastic.

I’ve never been good at warming up or stretching. Love that these incorporate it so well that I don’t even mind and actually enjoy it. Great stuff as always

Fantastic! Did the first half with a 20lb weight vest! 🔥 😓

Matt

Good- a bit tired today. Pushed through and adapted slightly. A note that the time in the bodyweight squats (warmup) is off (set for 1 sec)

In Session 7 we're working cleans, rows, and crawling.  Workout finishes with a slow flow stretch.

• Focus on coordinating your breathing with the movements. 
• Feel the articulation your spine and glide of your shoulders.
• Work smooth flexion & extension. One vertebrae at a time.
• Branch out into side bending and weight shifting.

Knee Hand Spinal Articulation

• Start in Low Kneeling + good posture.
• Flex your feet and lean back so knees become light on the ground.
• Draw back through the crease of hips to come to Deep Knee Bend
• Rise up to standing, on the way up put heels down as soon as possible.
• Reverse path to softly return to Low Kneel.

Kneeling Get Ups

A basic bodyweight squat can be expressed through all planes of motion and in many different angles. Vary your squats to provide a wider variety of stretch and mobility.

• Maintain long spine and upright chest as you sit between your hips
• Perform basic bilateral squat for several reps. Switch.
• Varied stance - wider, narrower, split, crossover.
• Varied foot placement - internal & external rotation.

Bodyweight Squats

•Foot Hand Crawl Position
•Opposite foot & hand 2-point support
•Rotate away from the support arm
•Free leg passes underneath the body
•Plant foot & hand (Inverted Crawl position)
•Reverse to return to Foot Hand Crawl

Crawl Pass Unders

• Start: Side Bent Sit
• Keep feet in contact with ground, lift knees from side to side.
• Press your into the ground and rise up to your knees.
• Reach overhead with either arm.
• Controlled return to sitting. Swivel & repeat.

Side Sit Swivel & Rise

Mobility Warm Up

Perform a set of single-arm swings followed by a set of cleans with little to no rest between movements. 
Switch arms every round. 3 rounds per side.

The 1-arm Swing is driven by dynamic hip extension and requires greater grip and core stability. *10 reps / side.

• With the bell in front of you, start in a hip hinge with a strong grip on the handle & shoulders square and set stable

• Hike the bell back between your legs. Drive your hips forward and powerfully stand up. Swing your free arm in sync with the bell.

• The hip drive causes the bell to float upwards into the swing. Avoid pulling up. 

• At the top of the swing, maintain a tall posture with your weight stacked over your heels + core strongly braced. Make sure the bell doesn’t pull you forward or into rotation.

• Allow the bell to fall back towards your body. At the last moment, hinge at the hips to “catch” the bell.

• Timing is key to a strong & safe rhythm - don’t break at the hips too early when catching the bell. 

• Feel the stretch through your glutes and hamstrings. Keep your shoulders drawn back / core braced. Use this stretch to load up for a powerful next rep.

Kettlebell 1-arm Swings

• Start in a hinge position, set up the same way you would for 1-arm swings.

• Hike the bell, drive your hips forward, and guide the bell up the front of your body to the rack position.

• The key is to keep your elbow close to guide the bell up rather than away from your body.

• Avoid the kettlebell banging into your shoulder by keeping your clean low. Think of cleaning to your waist.

• From the rack position, your hand moves away from your body allowing the bell to roll off your forearm. Hinge at the hips to catch the bell and re-clean.

*Perform 10 reps each side.*

Kettlebell Cleans

SuperSet A

Stay low or elevate your hips. Focus on a smooth transition from hands to feet - land softly, no impact.

•Start in Deep Knee Bend.
•Reach to the side and plant hands.
•Shift weight into locked out arms and push through the ground.
•Jump or shuffle your feet past your hands.
•Land as softly as possible.

Lateral Shuffle Crawl

• Start in a strong crawl position with the kettlebell set in front of you.
• Grab the KB - pick up and pull it back towards your lower body.
• Pull the KB back forward & switch sides.

Kettlebell Crawl Transfers (Fwd/Back)

SuperSet B

Switch arms each round. 3 rounds per side.

The key is tension - squeezing the handle and squeezing the arm into the body. 

• Hike the bell back with a neutral grip.

• Drive your hips to create the momentum, curl your arm and catch the bell end up.

• Keep your eyes on the bell to help the balance. Use tension to stabilize & control. Assist with your other hand if necessary. Hold for 3-5 seconds. Repeat.

Kettlebell Bottoms Up Clean

• Start in hip hinge with either a split or offset open stance. Row with the arm of the back leg.

• Lean forward keeping your shoulders back and core strongly braced.

• Grip the handle of the bell. Keep your neck long and elbow close to your body with each row. Drive your elbow back and feel your shoulder blade retract.

• Lower the bell without disturbing your spinal alignment or shoulder stability.

Kettlebell 1-arm Rows

SuperSet C

• Clean the kettlebell to the rack position

• Set up a strong, balanced stance. Keep pelvis level, glutes and core braced.

• Hold the bell in the rack position, squeeze the handle hard and squeeze the bell into your body before driving the bell overhead.

• Avoid excessive spinal arching. Your press arm should be in line with your ear as you complete the press.

• Lower the bell with control, pull into down back into the rack position. Cast the bell away and re-clean.

*Perform 7 reps per side.*

Kettlebell Clean & Press (Right Side)

The H2H Swing is driven by dynamic hip extension with a switch of the hands at the top of the swing.

• With the bell in front of you, start in hip hinge with a strong grip on the handle & shoulders plugged in.

• Hike the bell back between your legs. Drive your hips forward and powerfully stand up.

• The hip drive causes the bell to float upwards into the swing. Switch hands at the top of the swing - replace your hand underneath or over the top.

• Allow the bell to fall back towards your body. At the last moment, hinge at the hips to “catch” the bell. 

Timing is key to a strong & safe rhythm - don’t break at the hips too early when catching the bell. 

• Feel the stretch through your glutes and hamstrings. Keep your shoulders drawn back / core braced. Use this stretch to load up for a powerful next rep.

Kettlebell Hand-to-Hand Swings

Kettlebell Clean & Press (Left Side)

• Start in an athletic stance. Lower your COG
• Plant your hands on the ground. Push through locked out arms and extend legs backwards.
• Allow your elbows to bend and lower your chest to the ground.
• In one dynamic action, press up and spring up onto your feet. Rise to standing.

Back Sprawls

Finisher

• From Prone Lying, plant your hands outside your chest and draw your shoulders back.

• Use the strength of your back to lift upwards, pressing your arms to lock out to assist the range of motion.

• Keep your shoulders drawn back and chest open. Use active strength through the movement - don't force your body through the range of motion.

Prone Spinal Extension

• Start in a Foot Hand Crawl. Sit hips back to heels
• Shift weight forward and step one foot next to your hands
• Pause and hold the stretch. Maintain a long spine an sink into the front hips
• Step back & switch sides.

Crawl Lunges

• Focus on keeping your spine long and shoulders back in your squat position.
• Stay low in your wide stance squat. Shift your weight from side to side. 
• Use your hands in contact with the ground for additional support. Pull your hips down to increase hip mobility.

Squat Lateral Shifting

• Start in a Cross-legged Sit position or hook  top leg across the opposite knee for the Crossover stretch.

• Both positions are valuable hip openers. Spend time with the different variations.

• Lean forward in Cross Sit and work both sides.

• For Crossover Sit, hug your knee in towards your chest and elongate your spine. Feel the stretch in your glutes.

• Crossover Sit: Keep your front foot flexed and actively draw hip into socket for stability and to protect your knee.

Loved it! Current knee injury limited me in deep flexion so I did ground-seated reaches instead of deep squat reaches.
