Double kettlebell clean

Take care: Learn the single-bell clean first; keep the back flat in the backswing.

Two 16 kg bells swung back together from a wide stance and cleaned into the double rack, forearms vertical and elbows on the ribs.

Load and joint demand

Load in the model: 16 kg each hand. Balance and joint demand re-solve as you change it.

Faults

Faults grow with knee bend and apply to lifts standing on the floor. The fault check flags a knee caving more than 10° inside the line of the toes and a load split beyond 60/40. Knee cave shows best in the front camera.

Body

Femur changes keep standing height fixed by shortening or lengthening the torso. Longer femurs force more forward lean in any squat.

Effort and your quota

6.5/10 effort6.8fatigue per set

Your quota per set: 10 reps at 16 kg each hand, stopping 2 reps short of failure.

One hard set earns 182 legs points, 92 pull points, 64 arms points.

Prime movers

Gluteus maximus, hamstrings, upper trapezius, biceps, upper back, grip.

What to look for

  • Wide stance so both bells clear the knees.
  • Hips snap, bells stay close, hands spear through.
  • Elbows land on the ribs, not out wide.
How the model works, and its limits

One 3D skeleton drives both views. Segment lengths and widths are Winter's anthropometric ratios of height; segment masses and centre-of-mass positions follow Dempster's data. For free-standing lifts the whole-body angle is found numerically so the combined centre of mass of lifter and load sits over the middle of the foot. Arms and legs use two-link inverse kinematics with a pole direction. Rep timing follows a minimum-jerk profile.

Balance is quasi-static, so ballistic lifts are shown slowed down. Cable pull and pad support forces are not modelled. The spine is one rigid segment and joints have no range-of-motion limits or muscle forces.
