Alternating Clean

Two bells, alternating cleans — one bell rides the rack while the other swings. Rhythm, coordination, and a posterior chain that never switches off.

The lesson

01
Start the see-saw
Clean the right bell to the rack while the left hangs quiet at your side.
02
Trade on the drop
As the right falls out of the rack into its backswing, the left starts its clean. One is always catching, one is always loading.
03
The test
You should hear almost nothing. A bell that bangs your forearm travelled too far from your body.
04
Finish them together
End the set with both bells in the backswing, then park them in front of you.
