5 Mistakes You’re Making with the Kettlebell Clean

Welcome back to the "common mistakes series." In this video I'm gonna show you the 5 mistakes you're making with the kettlebell clean.
And how to overcome them.
The kettlebell clean is the "red-headed step-child" of the kettlebell world.
It's often over looked for the sexier kettlebell exercises like the swing, getup, snatch, and jerk.
But here's the TRUTH.
If you don't have a solid -- and efficient -- kettlebell clean...
... you're not gonna have a solid press, squat, push-press, or jerk.
You press is only as good as the clean which comes before it.
Let's break it down:
00:00 Intro
03:05 Mistake #1
11:35 Mistake #2
18:40 Mistake #3
23:20 Mistake #4
26:45 Mistake #5

The "lead with your elbow" cue totally changed my clean and no longer impacted my arm/elbow in a negative way. Very helpful.

[@thekettlebellcoach]

Nice! Glad it was helpful for you. Thanks for sharing.

[@timharmoni1846]

Wow. First time I have cleaned a kettlebell without pain or discomfit. Thank you.

[@thekettlebellcoach]

Love this man. Isn’t it crazy what happens when make “skill” a priority. Well done.

[@malush1412]

Been struggling for ages with getting the proper form for putting the bell down from the rack position. This was the BEST explanation. Thank you!

[@thekettlebellcoach]

Right on bro! Glad it was helpful. The clean took me 2 years get it down. And to really understand the mechanics. The one of the "simplest" of the 6 exercises. But definitely the hardest to master--IMO. It's more of a finesse exercise compared to the other ballistics. Appreciate you watching.

This is the best video I've found to understand the subtleties with the KB Clean, and I think I've watched them all, in English and Spanish speaking KZbin channels. Thanks for the slow-motion camera, it really helped seeing the movement of the elbow.

[@thekettlebellcoach]

Thanks man! Appreciate you watch. Glad it was helpful for you.

[@kathcuevas9807]

Oh that mistake #1 hit me hard (pun intended). I’ve had bruises in my upper and forearm, both sides 😂 that “leading with the elbow” is now my mantra when doing cleans.

[@thekettlebellcoach]

🤣 Glad this was helpful for you! Appreciate you watching 💪🏽

[@1d4a]

Wow very detailed! And you mention a lot of stuff that other kettlebell video's don't mention. Thanks a lot.

[@thekettlebellcoach]

Thanks for watching man! Glad it was helpful.

[@ding174]

Nice! Very Nice ! In fact it’s perfect. Perfect demonstration. It’s the only instructional I’ve found that addresses the critical nuances of this move and the mother video showing the nuances of the TGU

[@thekettlebellcoach]

Appreciate you bro 😎 thanks for watching.

[@Joh146]

Many thanks, to see this in detail helps me a lot. Very good explaination, especially "leading with the elbows".

[@thekettlebellcoach]

Hey bud... glad this was helpful for you. Let me know how this turns out for you.

[@AllIDoIsWin911]

Your Kettlebell Workout Snacks has gotten me into great shape. Appreciate the programs.

[@thekettlebellcoach]

Thanks man! Glad they’ve been helpful for ya. Appreciate you watching.

Hey, Hector. I've lifted with barbells for many years, but recently my 14yo son wanted to start getting strong, and I decided to start him with kettlebells to help him build some strength before trying to learn the barbell lifts. So we're both new to kettlebells and are running Atos 1.0 right now. Just wanted to say that these videos are solid gold. Thanks so much. BTW, we used to live in Houston so I feel ya on the Texas heat! :-)

[@thekettlebellcoach]

Hey Mike... awesome man. SO glad they’ve been helpful for ya. The Texas heat is REAL ;)

[@alikazan1423]

Honestly the best tutorial i've seen so far. very informative very direct to the point. it shows the experience you've accumulated throughout the years... really really thank you. for me it is leading with the elbow and the quick hand that is the key to a "clean" clean.

[@thekettlebellcoach]

Right on bro! Thanks for watching and making the time to chime in. 🙌🏾

[@peterkeelan1205]

Good stuff. Thanks

[@thekettlebellcoach]

Peter! Thanks for watching man and so glad it was helpful for you. Welcome to the channel.

[@wackmastaD]

I had a question about your ATOS program. I'm fading at the presses(but strong on the other movements) Should I grind it out and go to failure or just do what I can and cut the presses short

[@thekettlebellcoach]

Hey Nick. Great to hear from ya. Option one: move down a bell size so you can own the entire complex-this’ll take swallowing the ego a little. If that’s not available to you. Option 2: Yep, complete what you can on the press and finish the complex. Hope this helps.

[@wackmastaD]

@@thekettlebellcoach thanks! I have a 16kg and a 24kg. 16 is too easy. I'll keep on the 24 and just do what I can with pressing

[@thekettlebellcoach]

@@wackmastaD rgr that.
