What is a Clean? Clean (Weight Lifting)
A weight lifting clean is an explosive lower-body powered movement that lifts a weight from a lower position to a higher position which is called racking position. The racking position can be chest or shoulder height depending on what equipment and grip are used. The clean can be performed with a piece of exercise equipment from the ground i.e. dead, from a hanging position, or a during a ballistic movement like the swing. 


The #kettlebell #clean is more commonly used as a transitional or combo movement, but can also be used as an exercise on its own.

A clean can be a transition to another move, for example performing 10 swings, clean, and perform 10 shoulder presses. A clean can be included in a combo, for example in the clean and jerk, clean and press, or clean and front squat. A clean can be an exercise on its own, for example, 10 dead cleans on the left and right side, 10 gorilla cleans, or 10 double kettlebell swing cleans.


Why Is It Called a Clean?
Here’s an interesting one for you, as I know you’ve been wondering about the name–yes you have, admit it! The movement is called a “clean”, because it requires a clean movement, free from irregularities, smoothly and skillfully performed. If you lift your barbell or kettlebell, and the movement is interrupted, or the equipment bangs on your body parts, it wasn’t very clean.



Exercise Equipment

There are different types of exercise equipment with which one can perform a weight-lifting clean, some of them being:

- Kettlebells
- Olympic Bars
- Sand Bags
- Aqua Bags
