Cues d’entraînement

Begin by standing with a pair of kettlebells in front of you, feet hip-width apart, and perform a hinge to clean both kettlebells to the rack position. From the rack, use leg drive and press both kettlebells overhead in a continuous motion, engaging your shoulders and triceps throughout the movement.

What this exercise is for

Double Kettlebell Clean to Push Press is a hinge-focused pair movement in the KB Pro library. It is categorized primarily under shoulders work and is best treated as a intermediate-to-intermediate skill anchor rather than filler volume.

The movement uses compound mechanics and tends to load the full body chain most directly with bilateral loading that usually allows steadier output and simpler setup. In practice, that means it fits best when you want a movement with a clear role inside the session rather than something ambiguous or redundant.

Best use cases

Skill and coaching notes

This movement is tagged at the intermediate level, so the useful question is whether the athlete can keep positions clean under fatigue, not just whether they can complete a single rep.

If you are programming for general training rather than testing, keep Double Kettlebell Clean to Push Press in a role that reinforces shoulders work without forcing sloppy compensations from heavier or more technical lifts in the same session.

The cues on file reinforce the main coaching priority: Begin by standing with a pair of kettlebells in front of you, feet hip-width apart, and perform a hinge to clean both kettlebells to the rack position. From the rack, use leg drive and press both kettlebells overhead in a continuous motion, engaging your shoulders and triceps throughout the movement.
