Instructions

Alternating Hang Clean

1

Place two kettlebells between your feet. To get in the starting position, push your butt back and look straight ahead.

2

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.

3

Lower the cleaned kettlebell to a hanging position and clean the alternate kettlebell. Repeat.

Lunge Pass Through

1

Stand with your torso upright holding a kettlebell in your right hand. This will be your starting position.

2

Step forward with your left foot and lower your upper body down by flexing the hip and the knee, keeping the torso upright. Lower your back knee until it nearly touches the ground.

3

As you lunge, pass the kettlebell under your front leg to your opposite hand.

4

Pressing through the heel of your foot, return to the starting position.

5

Repeat the movement for the recommended amount of repetitions, alternating legs.

Verdict

Both exercises target the hamstrings. Alternating Hang Clean is a intermediate exercise using kettlebells, while Lunge Pass Through is intermediate and uses kettlebells.
