How to do the One-Arm Open Palm Kettlebell Clean

Steps

1. Place one kettlebell between your feet.
2. Grab the handle with one hand and raise the kettlebell rapidly, let it flip so that the ball of the kettlebell lands in the palm of your hand.
3. Throw the kettlebell out in front of you and catch the handle with one hand.
4. Take the kettlebell to the floor and repeat. Make sure to work both arms.

Tracking it in OneRep

Add the one-arm open palm kettlebell clean to a routine and your previous weight and reps sit beside every set, so the decision to add load is made by what is already on the screen rather than by memory. Exercise history and volume trends are one tap away, and logging works offline for the gyms where signal does not reach.

Because OneRep tracks food on the same timeline, a stall on this lift can be read against what you were actually eating that month — which is the difference between a programming problem and an eating one. More on that in tracking progressive overload without a spreadsheet.

Where the instructions come from

The steps above come from free-exercise-db, a public-domain exercise dataset. They are general guidance, not coaching for your body: if a movement hurts, stop and get someone qualified to look at it.
