Movement instructions
Place two kettlebells between your feet. To get in the starting position, push your butt back and look straight ahead.
Clean the kettlebells to your shoulders by extending through the legs and hips as you raise the kettlebells towards your shoulders. Rotate your wrists as you do so.
Lower the kettlebells back to the starting position and repeat.

Your progress
Keep the same kettlebells setup, range of motion and recording method when comparing Two-Arm Kettlebell 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.
