Alternating Hang Clean vs Romanian Deadlift

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.

Put a barbell in front of you on the ground and grab it using a pronated (palms facing down) grip that a little wider than shoulder width. Tip: Depending on the weight used, you may need wrist wraps to perform the exercise and also a raised platform in order to allow for better range of motion.

Bend the knees slightly and keep the shins vertical, hips back and back straight. This will be your starting position.

Keeping your back and arms completely straight at all times, use your hips to lift the bar as you exhale. Tip: The movement should not be fast but steady and under control.

Once you are standing completely straight up, lower the bar by pushing the hips back, only slightly bending the knees, unlike when squatting. Tip: Take a deep breath at the start of the movement and keep your chest up. Hold your breath as you lower and exhale as you complete the movement.

Repeat for the recommended amount of repetitions.
