The following is a summary of day 18.
- Warming up and muscle priming are super important
- Mobility work and stretches should become part of your regular training
- Kettlebell grips and assisted clean should be drilled often
- With the dead clean you want to get the power generation right to avoid banging
- If you do come too high you want to come toward and catch the bell
- Don’t wait for the bell to bang when it went too high
- This early catch should only be used when working on getting the power
- Don’t cast your bell out with the clean to avoid a jolt on the shoulder or lower back
- Move yourself away from the bell to create counter balance
- You need good thoracic and hip mobility to be able to perform this correctly
- Don’t follow the kettlebell
- Let the weight drop naturally and guide it back
- Tensing the other arm creates even tension throughout the upper body
- Don’t press away from you but up and back to overhead
- If you’ve progressed with strength and technique you can start looking at pressing away (more advanced)
