30 Day Kettlebell Clean Challenge

By Greg Brookes
30 day kettlebell clean challenge

The kettlebell clean is one of the big foundational kettlebell exercises and together with this 30 day challenge you will learn how to perform it correctly along with its many variations.

The kettlebell clean is a compound exercise using all the major muscle groups. Performing the clean correctly will strengthen your entire body from head to toe and improve your posture, protect your lower back, teach correct hip hinge technique, burn calories and challenge your cardio.

I’ve put together this 30 Day Kettlebell Clean Challenge to help you master this often neglected exercise and also to better understand how to progress the different clean variations.


3 Steps to get started:

Accountability is important for the success of any workout challenge so:

  1. Download the challenge by clicking here
  2. Add in the comments below that you are “starting the challenge
  3. Check-in daily adding that you “completed the workout” and any further comments or questions that you may have (I’ll be checking in daily)

30 Day kettlebell clean challenge

Each day we will be performing a different clean workout for a total of 30 days.

The workouts have been put together so they can be performed daily without the need for a rest day. However, should you feel that you need to take a day off then please do so, you can always extend the challenge to accommodate for the extra rest days.

You will notice that the workouts get more and more challenging as the days progress, this is done by increasing the repetitions and also the complexity of the exercises. If you find that an exercise is too difficult then simply replace it with an easier variation. Similarly, if the reps are too much then just do what you can.

The reps are designed to be performed in one go without taking a break or placing the kettlebell down but if you need to complete the reps in 2 or 3 smaller blocks with breaks in between then that is fine.

Each workout should take you less than 10 minute to complete so switch your focus on, avoid any distractions and push hard.


Do I need to warm up first?

The simple answer is yes, you should run through a general mobility warm up first just to lubricate the joints and also improve your joint mobility, which is important in and of itself.

Here’s a 5 minute joint mobility warm up…


Once you have completed the more general warm up above you can perform a few repetitions of the exercise that is included within your workout but with a lighter kettlebell or simply your bodyweight.

For example, the first workout uses the regular clean, so perform 5 – 10 reps with a lighter kettlebell on both sides first.

If you are more experienced and are using a challenging kettlebell then I’d suggest 2 sets of warm up reps, for example:

  1. 5 reps 12kg on both sides (warm up)
  2. 5 reps 16kg on both sides (warm up)
  3. 5 reps 24kg (started the workout)

What kettlebell weight to use for the challenge?

As with all weight training, always select a weight that allows you to perform good quality repetitions but also challenges you.

Women will most probably use an 8kg, 12 kg or 16kg and Men a 16kg, 24kg or 32kg.

As the exercises change each day you may need to use a different weight on different days. For example, you will be able to use a heavier kettlebell for the clean exercise than for the clean, squat and press.

What about using 2 kettlebells at the same time?

For those more advanced then you can perform many of these exercises with 2 kettlebells, one in each hand.

Unless you are comfortable using a challenging weight, Men 24kg and Women 16kg, then I’d focus on developing basic strength with 1 kettlebell first.

If you can lift heavier then I’d recommend starting with:

  • Men 2 x 16kg
  • Women 2 x 12kg

Those that are ready to start using 2 kettlebells will already have a very good understanding of what weights they can manage, the above is just a simple suggestion.


Should this challenge replace my regular workout?

If you are already involved in a regular workout schedule then you may wonder how this type of challenge will fit into your daily practice.

If you have been weight training for many years on a regular basis then you may be able to add this challenge to your regular schedule. Just be aware that the fatigue will build within your body over the course of the 30 days.

For most, just performing this challenge on its own and staying busy will be a perfect start. Consistency is more important than anything else so just completing this challenge will be a great springboard into other workouts and training habits.

Try to take each day as it comes and develop a habit of getting the workouts done, it will pay off in the long run 🙂


The 6 kettlebell cleans used in this challenge

There are 6 different kettlebell clean variations used within this challenge. Each variation will target slightly different muscles, movements and skills.

1 – Kettlebell Clean


The basic kettlebell clean is the first variation you need to learn. Based on the all important hip hinge movement pattern the clean predominantly uses the hips to elevate the kettlebell to chest height.

You will be activating your buttocks, hamstrings, back and core muscles during this exercise.

Many people struggle with this exercise, often banging their wrists or allowing the kettlebell to clash into the chest.

It is important to concentrate on using the hip snap to drive the kettlebell up vertically in front of the chest. Don’t loop the kettlebell up and over like with a kettlebell swing. Keep it close to the body.

Still having problems with the clean? Watch this…


Remember to ONLY use your arms to guide the kettlebell into the racked position rather than lifting with the arms. The hips do all the work.

One indicator that you are using your arms too much is soreness in the upper back (trapezius muscles) and also the biceps and crook of the arm.

If you find that the kettlebell is pinching on the back of your wrist then this is a kettlebell handle spacing issue rather than a form problem. The only way to fix this is to purchase a kettlebell with the correct dimensions as I suggest in my kettlebell buying guide here.


2 – Bottoms Up Kettlebell Clean


The bottoms up clean is a tricky exercise that I’ve included to help improve your technique. You will need good balance, alignment and core control in order to master this exercise.

The basic clean movement is the same for this variation except you flip the kettlebell upside down, squeeze the handle and balance the kettlebell for 5 – 10 seconds.

You will quickly learn how hard you need to snap your hips to get the kettlebell to float into position at the right height.

Be sure to keep your elbow in nice and tight to enable good alignment and stability. A strong wrist and grip is also important to stop the kettlebell from flopping over.

Warning: when first practicing this exercise be careful that the kettlebell doesn’t hit you in the face. Practice in a place where you can quickly drop the kettlebell if needed.


3 – Kettlebell Clean and Press


For the next kettlebell clean variation we are adding a press to the movement. The addition of a press at the top turns this kettlebell exercise into a full body movement challenging most of the muscles from head to toe.

The practical application of this exercise is also apparent, basically lifting something from the floor and placing it overhead.

The dynamic nature of this exercise plus the distance that the kettlebell has to travel makes this exercise very cardiovascular too.

You have two pressing options from the racked position either a static press which means keeping your legs locked and pressing straight overhead or by using the push press.

Here’s how to use the push press…


You are much stronger in the clean part of the exercise than the press part, it’s basically buttocks vs shoulders.

The push press, as demonstrated above, is an easier variation of the press and has the advantage of you being able to use a heavier kettlebell for the clean and press.

One final point. When performing the clean and press make sure you pause for a second or two in the racked position with the kettlebell against the chest before pressing overhead. Taking this extra time between the two movements ensures better technique and a second to reset.


4 – Kettlebell Clean, Squat and Press


Next we start to mix a few exercises together into a complex movement that will not only challenge more muscles but really increase your heart rate too.

You will need to switch your brain on for this exercise because there is a lot going on and mistakes can easily be made. If you are not happy with squatting or the clean and press then I suggest you practice those first.

You can work through the exercise like this:

  • Clean to the chest
  • Squat to the floor
  • Stand and drive the kettlebell overhead
  • Lower the kettlebell to the chest
  • Lower the kettlebell to the floor
  • Repeat

The complete movement should be performed at a nice consistent pace. No jerking. Just nice and smooth.


5 – Kettlebell Side Lunge and Clean


Now we move on to the more advanced exercises.

The side lunge and clean requires you to be comfortable with both the side lunge and the kettlebell clean exercises separately. If the side lunge gives you problems then use a different clean variation.

The introduction of the side lunge adds lateral movement to the exercise which targets very different muscles as well as helping to open up your hips.

You will achieve a lot more quad activation using this clean variation than any of the others.

Be sure to keep your back flat and core braced throughout the exercise to help protect your lower back and maintain good posture.


6 – Single Leg Kettlebell Clean


The final exercise is one of my favourites and requires a full kettlebell clean while standing on one leg.

You will achieve good glute activation as well as a strong connection through the sling systems of the body from hip to opposite shoulder.

You will probably find that one side is much more challenging than the other. If this is the case then start with your weakest side and let this guide how many reps you perform on the other.

      On Day 1 I had to use a 10 lb KB–at least on my nondominant side. Today, Day 11, I did the first of the 4 sets with the 10 lb and then completed the other 3 with the 20 lb. That’s a jump but I don’t have anything in between those two weights right now.

      On Day 1, these KB Cleans felt very awkward. I needed to lighten my KB to 10 lbs especially for my left (nondominant side). Missed Day 3 but completed Days 3 and 4 yesterday. Day 5 done today! Left side is still not quite as smooth as the right but the move is feeling easier and I need to find a slighter heavier KB!

      Thanks, Greg for this excellent routine. I am 71 and have had a left shoulder issue for 4 years with pain, instability, and weakness. This routine using a 16kg KB has gotten me back to a 90% level. I plan to continue with a heavier KB. I suspect continuing this and including the windmill will get me very close to 100%.

      Day 27 – kettlebell single-leg clean. I felt like I was drunk, swaying in all directions 😀 😀 😀 but I really liked it – it involves a lot of muscles especially stabilizers. It reminds me to return to Bulgarian lunge.

      Hi Greg,
      Inspired by your article “Why Does Kettlebell Training Work?” I realized that there is one more benefit:
      You save time and money. Time because you can train whenever and wherever you want to and money – you invest just once in buying the kettlebells.
      I spent 10 days holiday in the countryside and I trained every day – just because my kettlebells were with me 🙂
      So, days 12-21 completed.

      Week 2 completed, on track. Also doing the Australian stadium stomp challenge. As it is virtual this year, for obvious reasons, the challenge is to complete 25,000 steps in one month. Because they understand we won’t be able to get to flights of stairs easily, they accept squats, step-ups, lunges and walking/jogging uphill. So I count all my clean exercises as part of this. So far, I have 20, 306 steps.

      Day 11 of the challenge completed and Muscle Building Prog. week 2 completed. The workouts are great and the recovery is okay as well…staying with 20kg until I can purchase more weight with my preferred manufacturer which happens to be out of stock in those sizes at this time. 2 thumbs up with the new KB Workout Generator Trainer. I like the versatility, visual demo’s and the details of each exercise. Thank you Greg.

      Thanks for your comments on overloading the hip movement. By combining the clean challenge with a session of rowing and swings my lower back started getting sore – now I understand why. I ll carry on with the challenge but leave out the swings and rowing and combine with something else– maybe TGU

      day 8 completed: my left shoulder is damaged, while I have no problem doing the clean, press is harder to do, it’s also weaker naturally, I could only use the 20lb kb for now and do push press on the left side, while doing the press with the ride side. But it’s still good because I’ve come a long way from not being able to use the left arb because of shoulder pain to doing this.

      1. Greg Brookes Avatar

        I’d avoid all overhead work on the bad shoulder Monika while it heals

        1. Monika Avatar
          Monika

          I don’t know if it ever will. I’ve had it for years. Calcific tendonitis. I need to keep it moving so that it wont get stuck again. Exercises helped me so far. Of course I can’t do as much as I want and not as heavy either on that side.

      Hi Greg,
      Just completed day 7. Bottoms up from the ground are super humbling. This is great practice for me. Perhaps by the end of the challenge I can manage a few decent ones. Thank you

      Day 3 completed,
      sorry for my english, but i have a question.
      Should the cleans be “dead cleans” (paused/little touch at ground), or with a little momentum (hand changes every 5, with “one handed swing”) like swings?

      Thanks

      1. Greg Brookes Avatar

        Dead cleans are the best ones to begin with Thilo, they give you time to reset

I got bruises on my forearm from Day 1 so I took a video of myself and saw how horrible my form was. I rewatched Greg’s videos several times and my form is better today, but not yet perfect…. more practice to do

      Day 2…completed the workout. I found that especially with my left (non-dominate) hand, the kettlebell falls from the bottom up position to a racked position. I think it may have happened once with my right hand, but on 3/8 reps with my left. I assume this is either due to poor form or just strength in the hand/wrist itself that I have not developed yet?

      day 2 completed. I did my 12 weeks kb program first. Bottom’s up cleans are fun! Since I’ve never done that before (as far as I can remember) I used the 15lb kb for the first round. Since I loved it and it was easy, I did another round with 20lb kb, and a third round with 25lbs. That was the max my left arm/wrist could handle in a safe way. I have shoulder problem on the left side. Anyway, thanks Greg! Loved it. 🙂👍

      Finished Day 2. I had to go extra low weight, otherwise I couldn’t keep the kettlebelt in a straight bottoms-up position at the top. It was wiggling and swaying and slapping one way or the other. It will be interesting to see if I could go a notch heavier by the end of the challenge.

        I completed day one of the challenge on July 1, 2020! I am adding the Kettlebell Clean Challenge to my current routine of mat pilates (25 minutes) and calesthenics with light barbells (25 minutes), which I started eight weeks ago, May 8. That routine was designed as a way to slowly regain full body fitness, while being easy on ankles, knees, hips, low back–basically everything. I believe my current routine is light enough that I can keep it going while adding the Kettlebell Clean Challenge. If not, I will make some adjustments.

      I’ve got three kettlebells – 12kg, 16kg, and 24kg. I’ll be mixing up which I use on different days with different exercises. Today I used the 24kg, but I know I’ve not got a chance of doing tomorrow’s exercise with it!

      I started the 12 week Muscle Building Program Monday and the challenge today using 20kg. I’ll be looking to increase the weight when the current kettlebell shortage is over…”not in stock” across many sites seems to be trending. I’m going to try to borrow from a friend in the mean time.

      Started the challenge today, first set completed plus some other excercises. Still a few wrist bangs despite watching your video a few times on how not to bang your wrists, is my bell too heavy at 20kgs. It’s the only one I have.

      Basil Fawlty

      Finished day 1. It was my first time doing the Clean so I started low weight. I struggled a bit technique wise. On more than half of the reps the kettlebell was banging against my forearm. I watched the instruction video many times, I think my problem is I am not bringing the kettlebell up in a straight line and I am trying to swing my wrist way too hard at the top. This must be it because I did much better with my left arm which is my weak arm. Should be better tomorrow.

      1. Greg Brookes Avatar

        Yes Basil, beginners usually find their weaker arm is better at first because they use more of their hips than their shoulders / arms.

      Starting the Challenge today!

      I’m doing the 17-minute warmup video, and rotating around the first 4 beginners workouts, occasionally adding some 2-handed swings (or subbing the swings for the 3rd set), and I’m adding the challenge at the end of the routine (should I do it before?). I am having a bit of a time keeping that straight up “zipping up a jacket” line, and it’s taking a bit of time to figure out how precisely my arm should get around the kettlebell so there is no bang on the arm. My left arm is much weaker at this than I would have thought, I tried to “guide it” a bit with my right arm when I didn’t seem like I could do the last rep or two properly. It might take a while to get it perfect on both arms.

          Sorry just seen this is meant to be a July 1 start. What do you think about combining this with your 2- Swing/10-1 push up challenge? Also pleased to report I managed to get a 16 Kg without being overly ripped off so I have a pair of 8s, one 12 and one 16. Thanks so much for all your content.

          1. Greg Brookes Avatar

            I think combining those 2 challenges would be too much Jules, the fatigue will build plus they both use the hip hinge.

        Debbie, I am working light, too — 15 lbs/6.8kg kettlebell — in order to avoid overworking an old shoulder injury. I know I will be able to do more, in time, but meanwhile, if I want to come back and enjoy working out each day, without pain, I need to be patient with myself. I just got back into working out in early May, and I am in no hurry.

            Starting the challenge July 1st!! I’ve been trying to restart since i injured ribs shovelling snow back in early spring. I’ve even purchased the body weight only program earlier this year and due to the early heat in Ontario Canada along with crazy amount of yard work, I still could not get motivated to utilize that or lift my kettlebells. This challenge will help with beginning again. Thank you Greg for keeping so many of us motivated!!! Your the best 🙏
