How to perform

Place one kettlebell between your feet. Clean the kettlebell by extending through the legs and hips as you raise the kettlebell towards your shoulders.
Release the kettlebell as it comes up, and let it flip so that the ball of the kettlebell lands in the palms of your hands.
Release the kettlebell out in front of you and catch the handle with both hands. Lower the kettlebell to the starting position and repeat.
