Clean Press And Swing Alternating

To begin the clean, swing the kettlebell back between the legs just like you would with a swing, but this time make sure to rotate your palm so that your thumb is pointing behind you. This will strengthen and engage the rotator cuff during the liftoff
After the backswing extend your hips and knees and pull slightly back on the kettlebell to pop it up so that it rotates around the forearm and lands safely in the rack position.
A loose grip is necessary for the bell to rotate in the hand.
Your thumb should be pointing toward the clavicle in the top position
From the rack position press the kettlebell up and out to the side ending in a solid overhead position with your elbow locked.
Never let the shoulder blade elevate during the press. It creates instability and can cause an injury to the shoulder. Always keep your scapula depressed if you want your shoulder to be happy 🙂
Keep your forearm vertical and wrist straight
Reverse the movement to bring the kettlebell back into the rack and then again all the way down to the back swing
When you swing the kettlebell forward, rotate your palm up and grab the handle with the other hand palm facing down. The grip has to be lose for you to be able to switch hands.
