Movement instructions
Place kettlebell between your feet. To get in the starting position, push your butt back and look straight ahead.
Clean kettlebell to your shoulder. Clean the kettlebell to your shoulders by extending through the legs and hips as you raise the kettlebell towards your shoulder. The wrist should rotate as you do so.
Lower kettlebell to a hanging position between your legs while keeping the hamstrings loaded. Keep your head up at all times.

General guidance based on the exercise and equipment. It is not personal coaching or medical advice.
Your progress
Keep the same kettlebells setup, range of motion and recording method when comparing Kettlebell Hang Clean sessions.
Weight, repetitions and completed sets.
Example: 3 sets of 8 reps at 30 kg. Next time, record the actual result, even if it is the same.
Look for more repetitions at the same weight, or a heavier weight for comparable repetitions. Total weight lifted also changes when you add sets, so it is not a strength score.
