    How to: Kettlebell Dead Clean

    1. Stand with your feet shoulder-width apart with the kettlebell on the floor between your feet.
    2. Bend at your knees and hips to grasp the kettlebell with both hands.
    3. Keep your back flat and chest up as you lift the kettlebell by extending your hips and knees.
    4. As you lift, bring the kettlebell to your chest, allowing your elbows to drop below.
    5. Lower the kettlebell back down to the floor while maintaining control and proper form.

    Common Mistakes

    • Rounding the back while lifting.
    • Using momentum rather than muscle control.
    • Not fully engaging the hips and legs in the movement.

    Modifications

    • Use a lighter kettlebell to start.
    • Perform the exercise from a seated position or with support.

    Tips

    • Keep your back straight and core engaged throughout the movement.
    • Focus on a smooth and controlled motion rather than rushing.
    • Practice with a lighter kettlebell to master the form before increasing the weight.
