One Arm Kettlebell Clean And Jerk
Also known as: Single Arm Kettlebell Clean and Jerk • One Hand Kettlebell Clean and Jerk
A bear would call this a two-part power move: zip the kettlebell to the rack, then punch it overhead with leg drive. It trains strength, timing, grip, and balance while keeping your whole body busy like a foraging sprint uphill.
Instructions
- Stand with the kettlebell between your feet.
- Hinge down and grip the handle with one hand.
- Drive through your legs and clean the bell to rack.
- Dip slightly and push the bell overhead.
- Lock the arm out and stand tall.
- Lower the bell back to rack, then to the floor.
Benefits

Key Points

- Brace your core throughout
- Stand fully tall at the top
Common Mistakes
