Examining The Kettlebell Clean

Examining The Kettlebell Clean

So I decided to pull today’s article straight out of my kettlebell training archives. The original publishing date of this article was back on May 21, 2015.

If you expect to perform any quality movement with your kettlebell lifts you’ve got to be solid with your kettlebell clean technique first. I think you’ll find today’s article very helpful. Read and apply.

The kettlebell clean is one of the first movements you can perform with the iron bell because it is a prerequisite point of position for many other movements. I mean if you’re going to lift the bell from the ground to start with then you’ve got to be able to perform the clean. The thing is that there are many aspects to this lift that are missed which results in it commonly being done wrong with many lifters.

  2. Did someone tell you not to hold your breath when lifting? 
  3. Do you currently hold your breath when lifting? 

Today I want to talk about the how to breathe when lifting. When I was younger I had a coach tell me that I should inhale when lowering the weight and that I should exhale when lifting the weight up. However, I always struggled with this and I frequently found myself not following my old coach’s advice. So who was right?
