Question: One of our members asked why when googling #kettlebell cleans you dont see the twist technique. #CoachTom Answers: With the kettlebell cleans we want that slight twist or thumb towards the opposite heel to promote some external rotation of the bell. Otherwise you get some bouncing or in some cases slamming of the bell against the wrist which, as you can imagine is not comfortable. The other main cues for a kettlebell clean are to keep the elbow tight to the body at all times, keep your armpit tight (like they teach you in a golf swing when they put a glove under the armpit and say dont drop the glove), and then also really zip the bell up, like your zipping up your jacket.
