Kettlebell Clean & Press (Double)

What you'll gain

• Links a lower-body hinge and an overhead press in one loaded sequence.

• Two bells raise the trunk and rack demand compared with a single-arm clean and press.

• Builds a repeatable path from hang to overhead that other kettlebell complexes use.

Step-by-Step Instructions

1. 1

   Stand with a kettlebell in each hand hanging between the knees, hips back, arms straight.

2. 2

   Drive the hips forward and pull each bell into a rack on the forearm, close to the chest.

3. 3

   Pause in the rack with the wrists straight and the trunk braced.

4. 4

   Press both kettlebells overhead until the elbows lock and the biceps sit by the ears.

5. 5

   Lower the bells under control back to the rack.

6. 6

   Hinge the bells back to the hang and repeat the clean and press as one cycle.

Common Mistakes

• Curling the bells to the rack with the arms instead of snapping them up with the hips.

• Crashing the bells onto the forearms, which means the catch was late.

• Leaning back to finish the press, which dumps the load onto the lumbar spine.

• Skipping the rack pause and turning the lift into a messy push press.

About This Exercise

The double kettlebell clean and press links a hip-driven clean with an overhead press, done with a bell in each hand. From a hang between the knees the hips snap the bells to a quiet rack on the forearms; after a brief pause you press both bells to lockout without turning the lift into a jerk. The clean is a hinge. The press is a vertical push. Two bells raise the postural demand because there is no free arm to counterbalance. For a catalog this is an advanced kettlebell complex clip. It fits kettlebell filters, full-body power blocks, and app pages that need a clean-and-press rather than a swing or a strict press alone.
