Instructions
Alternating Hang Clean
Place two kettlebells between your feet. To get in the starting position, push your butt back and look straight ahead.
Clean one kettlebell to your shoulder and hold on to the other kettlebell in a hanging position. Clean the kettlebell to your shoulder by extending through the legs and hips as you pull the kettlebell towards your shoulders. Rotate your wrist as you do so.
Lower the cleaned kettlebell to a hanging position and clean the alternate kettlebell. Repeat.
Kettlebell One-Legged Deadlift
Hold a kettlebell by the handle in one hand. Stand on one leg, on the same side that you hold the kettlebell.
Keeping that knee slightly bent, perform a stiff legged deadlift by bending at the hip, extending your free leg behind you for balance.
Continue lowering the kettlebell until you are parallel to the ground, and then return to the upright position.
Verdict
Both exercises target the hamstrings. Alternating Hang Clean is a intermediate exercise using kettlebells, while Kettlebell One-Legged Deadlift is intermediate and uses kettlebells.
