Instructions
90/90 Hamstring
Lie on your back, with one leg extended straight out.
With the other leg, bend the hip and knee to 90 degrees. You may brace your leg with your hands if necessary. This will be your starting position.
Extend your leg straight into the air, pausing briefly at the top. Return the leg to the starting position.
Repeat for 10-20 repetitions, and then switch to the other leg.
Kettlebell Hang Clean
Place kettlebell between your feet. To get in the starting position, push your butt back and look straight ahead.
Clean kettlebell to your shoulder. Clean the kettlebell to your shoulders by extending through the legs and hips as you raise the kettlebell towards your shoulder. The wrist should rotate as you do so.
Lower kettlebell to a hanging position between your legs while keeping the hamstrings loaded. Keep your head up at all times.
