One-Arm Kettlebell Jerk

Build explosive shoulder power with this full-body kettlebell lift.

This jerk variation teaches you how to use your entire body to move weight — blending leg power with overhead control.

Instructions

  1. Clean a kettlebell to your shoulder, rotating your wrist so your palm faces forward.
  2. Dip slightly by bending your knees, keeping your torso tall.
  3. Drive upward with your legs and press the kettlebell overhead.
  4. Catch it in a partial squat with arms fully extended.
  5. Stand tall to complete the lift, then lower to reset.
