• No forward movement of knees • Lots of heel emphysis when swinging forward • Full hip extension • Only swing kettlebell as far as your momentum
takes it (don’t use shoulders) • Keep abs tight as hips extend to keep back from
extending
• No forward movement of knees • Move body around kettlebell • Rest kettlebell between forearm and bicep • Keep abs tight as hips extend to keep back from
extending
• Same as Clean • Clean and jerk variation can utilize an additional
shallow squat and trust up with the hips to help get kettlebell over head
• No forward movement of knees • Move body around kettlebell • As weight gets heavier, you may need to lower
body into a squatted position while attempting to lock arm out over head
• Use very light weight starting out • Look at kettlebell the entire time to make sure
weight and arm is not flaring out • Movement should be done controlled and
relatively slow

LIFT LAB | PURPLE 1 Instructor will cover the following exercises and variations Squats Coaching Tip(s):
Lunges Coaching Tip(s):
Crunches Coaching Tip(s):
“Superman” Coaching Tip(s):
Side Throw Coaching Tip(s):
Plank Coaching Tip(s):
• Keep head in neutral position toward ground
• Only raise extremities to comfort, don’t let lower back flex excessively
• Keep hips on ground • Support neck (not pull), Cross arms
on chest or reach toward knees • Drawn in abs to keep low back on
ground
• Make sure knee is tracking forward in line with second to largest toe
• Make sure most emphysis is on front foot
• Choose high or low bar racking position on back
• Lower hips at a controlled speed towards the ground
• Keep flat footed, don’t put too much emphysis on heel or ball of foot
• Rise using the hips and quads not the low back
• Rise to full hip extension, but keep abs drawn in so back does not extend during lock out
• Use hips and trunk in unison to decelerate and accelerate movement
• Back leg and hip should be the primary source of stabilization
• Keep torso straight, no sag in low back
• Keep head in neutral position, not looking forward
• Push hips up and back down into position to stop low back activation
