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.
Moving Claw Series
This move helps prepare your running form to help you excel at sprinting. As you run, be sure to flex the knee, aiming to kick your glutes as the hip extends.
Reload the quad as the leg moves back forward, attacking the ground on the next step.
Ensure that as you run, you block with the arms, punching through in a rapid 1-2 motion.
Verdict
Both exercises target the hamstrings. Alternating Hang Clean is a intermediate exercise using kettlebells, while Moving Claw Series is beginner and uses none. Choose Moving Claw Series if you're looking for a more accessible option, or Alternating Hang Clean for a greater challenge.
