Double Clean & Push Press

Two bells, floor to rack to overhead, driven by the legs. The most complete vertical power expression in the catalog — and the heaviest.

The lesson

01
Hike both together
Feet wider than for a single bell. Both bells snap back between your legs in the same beat.
02
Clean to the rack
One hip drive brings both up. Elbows tuck to your ribs, bells resting on your forearms.
03
Breathe and brace
Take a breath and tighten your trunk like you're about to be punched. Everything overhead is built on this.
04
Dip short and sharp
Bend your knees a couple of inches with your torso staying vertical. This is a leg drive, not a shoulder press.
05
Drive the floor away
Your legs send the bells up. Your arms stay passive until the legs have finished — pressing early is what turns this into a grind.
06
Lock out tall
Elbows straight, bells stacked over your shoulders, ribs down.
07
Come down through the rack
Bend your knees to absorb the bells back onto your chest, then hinge them into the backswing for the next clean — or set them down there.
