  1. Start standing with a kettlebell in one hand.
  2. Step forward into a lunge while bringing the kettlebell to your shoulder.
  3. Push through your front heel to stand up, pressing the kettlebell overhead.
  4. Lower the kettlebell back to your shoulder and step back to the starting position.
  5. Repeat for the desired number of repetitions before switching sides.

How to perform the Kettlebell Lunge Clean and Press

  1. Set up. Set up in a stable, balanced starting position appropriate for the Kettlebell Lunge Clean and Press using your kettlebell.
  2. Brace and execute. Brace your core, control the descent, and move through a full pain-free range of motion while emphasizing your pectoralis major.
  3. Reset. Reverse the movement under control and reset between repetitions, keeping your form crisp on every rep.

Coaching cues

  • Move with intent — every rep should feel deliberate, not rushed.
  • Drive force through your pectoralis major rather than momentum.
  • Keep your breathing steady: exhale on the hard part, inhale on the reset.

Common mistakes

  • Using too much weight and losing positional control.
  • Cutting the range of motion short and missing the target muscle.
  • Letting your spine round or hyperextend instead of staying neutral.
