Video Demo: Kettlebell Clean & Jerk

The first thing you're going to notice with this is the absence of the universal athletic stance, that neutral posture spine and hips tilted slightly forward. In kettlebell terms that would be considered more of a hard style lift. My purpose here is to allow you, the lifter, to operate under load for as long as possible. Therefore I want to incorporate as many muscles as possible into your actual lifting instead of simply depending on a couple of big ones to do all the work. Spread the work over more muscles and allow your body to function more efficiently over a longer period of time.

Like I said, this is just my take on things. So here you go. Keep practicing your swing too.
