- Start with your feet shoulder-width apart and facing forward
- Push your feet into the floor as if you’re trying to make a dent and tense your lower-body muscles to give yourself the leverage you need to perform the movement efficiently
- Bend your knees slightly and grasp the kettlebell with one hand, keeping a straight back
- Pull the kettlebell back between your legs slightly with your thumb pointing backwards
- Drive your hips forward and straighten your back more to initiate the upward and forward movement, keeping your kettlebell arm straight and your free arm extended out like a wing for balance
- As the kettlebell reaches bellybutton height, gently pull the kettlebell towards your body, rotating your hand so you finish in an upright position with the weight resting neatly on the back of your hand (this is referred to as the rack position)
- Reverse and repeat for desired reps
- Complete desired reps then repeat on the opposite side

KB Single Arm Clean (HEAVY)

- Press the dumbbells up and rotate your wrists until your palms are facing the opposite direction
- Lower the dumbbells, reversing the rotation with a slow and controlled movement back to the starting position

- Hold both dumbbells in front of your body palms facing you
- Raise your elbows up and to the sides, pulling the dumbbells towards your chin
- Keeping them close to the body
- Pause at the top, elbows no higher than the shoulders

DB High Pulls

- Start in a standing position, hold a dumbbell in each hand with your arms bent to 90 degrees, elbows slightly forward of the shoulders
