How to perform Bottoms-Up Clean From The Hang Position

  1. Stand with a kettlebell hanging in one hand and enough space around the bell.
  2. Hinge at the hips and let the bell travel into a controlled backswing.
  3. Extend your hips to guide the bell upward close to your body, bending the elbow as it rises.
  4. Receive the bell near shoulder height with its base pointing upward above your fist, your forearm upright and wrist steady.
  5. Pause only while you can control the inverted bell without leaning or chasing it.
  6. Guide the bell down into the next controlled backswing, then repeat and switch hands for the other side.
