The kettlebell clean is one of the most challenging and frustrating exercises for beginners, but it doesn’t have to be. In this tutorial, I’ll show you *two game-changing techniques* to master the kettlebell clean without the dreaded "crash landing" on your wrist: 1⃣ *The Seated Clean* - Learn the movement safely by removing momentum. 2⃣ *The Assisted Clean* - Use your free hand to guide the kettlebell and prevent injury. Say goodbye to wrist pain and hello to clean, smooth technique that will boost your kettlebell training and build serious strength. 💪
I love this explanation. I have been using Kettlebell for 5 years and I learned the single hand exercises with my thumb pointing towards the sky on the back swing. I always liked this but I couldn't sort out how to do any of these moves without turning the bell. After starting doubles I started to try to figure it out because the bells would bang a lot with both turning. This cleared all that up. I know that was a lot of nonsense, but I just really appreciated this breakdown.
Beyond the kettlebell, IMHO this is a great example of teaching someone a new skill, no matter what it is. Most people, including myself, want to run before we can crawl. We place too much pressure on ourselves to do something fast as opposed to doing it right. This creates bad habits that lead to injury. But by breaking up the complex movement into its parts, the student gets to see what is taking place throughout the whole. I use this method when I train new coworkers. I emphasize the importance of learning to do the task correctly first and tell them not to worry about doing it fast. When they gain the confidence in knowing they are doing the job correctly the speed just naturally follows.
Nice tutorial and amazing show case, but what to do if you don't have a competition kettlebell?!? A window is different, travel and wrist position are different as, for beginners, would be great to know and see deference. Sorry but not all have only competition bells or opportunity swap them all. Thanks!
I recommend selling your cast-iron kettlebells and switching to competition-style bells, as that’s our primary focus here. If that’s not an option, there are other channels dedicated exclusively to cast-iron bells.
@@lebe-stark Some people try first with cast iron at home/gym. Would be great if you could address their valid question. It will help you in the long run by getting them into the KB world. It is obvious competition bells are better, but I'm surprised and a little disappointed this is your answer. I started with cast iron and only needed a few adjustments (plus some discomfort), but it worked just fine. Don't throw the baby out with the bathwater...
I almost exclusively use the "thumbs back" (or "back hand," as we call it) technique for the Clean, Swing, and Snatch with single kettlebells - unless I’m working with doubles. Ultimately, it comes down to personal preference.
What timing. I just saw a video from Levi, your podcast guest a couple months back, doing a half-snatch cycle and the bell appears to swing over and bang his wrist. His wrists are wrapped. Why would he violate the rule of not letting the bell get above the handle at the end of the pull? Or is his technique getting his arm inserted before the force of the bell
@lebe-stark I got this part down, but my cleans have started causing medial elbow epicodylitis. (Aka golfer’s elbow) the pain mainly comes when I bring the bells down What should I look for to adjust ?? It was just on the right. But now in both!! I don’t want to stop because of all the progress I have made!
Several of our clients have faced similar issues, and here’s what we’ve found to help: Solution #1: Use the 'thumbs back' or 'back hand' technique during the backswing. This involves swinging the bell horizontally and, as it drops into the backswing, slightly pointing your thumb toward your hips. This adjustment can help offset tension and reduce aggravation of affected tendons. Solution #2: Avoid performing exercises with a 'bent-elbow' position during momentum-based movements. This reduces strain on the tendons while inflammation subsides or until full recovery is achieved. I hope you find these solutions helpful!

The Kettlebell GOAT of TH-cam with another great tutorial. Way to get after it, Gregory!

This is the best explanation on hand insertion i've seen on youtube as well . Thank you
Probably the best hand insertion tutorial ever and there has been a lot! Should be in the owners manual of every kettlebell sold 😅
Absolute G.O.A.T
Outstanding detail. Truly appreciate your efforts sir. I will be practicing this method going forward.
Glad to be of service!
Best explaination ever! 👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻
Best explanation ever!!! Dankeschön ❤
Sehr gern geschehen! 💪

Thanks. Very timely. I’ll give this a try.
You've done it again. Simplifications to lead to mastery. Thank you Coach.
I love those reminders-updates
Thank you Coach!! 💪🏼
Thank you! I truly appreciate your teaching and guidance.
That's what i needed.
i will try it.
Certified banger, Coach Lebe! 😉
Hi Gregory, excellent video
Can you do a video about how kettlebells can be used by arm wrestlers? Please

@@lebe-stark )))) and after that you surprize that not many people into kettlebells. It's a heartbreaking to hear from a coach.

What do you think about thumbs back technique with the clean?
I almost exclusively use the "thumbs back" (or "back hand," as we call it) technique for the Clean, Swing, and Snatch with single kettlebells - unless I’m working with doubles. Ultimately, it comes down to personal preference.
@lebe-stark do you feel more of a pump in the bicep when doing reverse?
The opposite actually. If I use a "Front Hand" (thumbs facing forward) I get a bigger "pump" - although it's not comparable to Bodybuilding. lol

Pls describe which weight to buy for women beginners, close to 70. Thank you
Rouchele, women beginners typically start at 8 kg (17 lbs), but factoring in age, it's okay to start lower. Maybe a 8 or 10 lb kettlebell.

@ greatly appreciated. Keep up the awesome content. I’ll certainly try these things.
Hand goes around the kettlebell, not kettlebell around the hand...that was best advice for me
Great advice!
