So Fresh, So Clean

A Proper Kettlebell Clean with Drake x Welling 🎥

We’re back for Part II with David Drake and Joey Welling (if you missed it, check out Part I: KBs x Rap). This week David and Joey dive into the fundamentals of the kettlebell clean, breaking it down in a way that’s both easy to understand and fun to watch. Their vibe, spot-on adjustments and insights – sharpened by years of training together – make this video a game-changer for your kettlebell practice.

In under 15 minutes you’ll not only learn valuable tips and technique for the kettlebell clean – “It’s considered a transitional move,” says David, “but by itself it’s also a pretty important move” – but you’ll also walk away with key movements to start building your own complexes.

Why did they choose the kettlebell clean? Because mastering this movement “takes you into a whole other realm of exercises. It can put you in a position where you can now press …. do reverse lunges, front squats, instead of what [we] see most people doing, which is grabbing a bell and yanking it up to get into position,” says Joey.
