Begin standing with your feet shoulder-width apart, holding a kettlebell in one hand with a neutral grip. Perform a hinge to clean the kettlebell to your shoulder, then immediately drop into a squat and drive up, pressing the kettlebell overhead in a single motion. Return to the starting position and repeat for the desired number of repetitions before switching sides.
