Kettlebell training is often seen as a ‘hardcore’ way of working out, but it’s just another tool in your toolbox that can be used for some specific purposes.
One thing that I love about kettlebell training is the grip strength development, especially doing exercises like swings and turkish getups.
Another benefit to mixed martial artists of kettlebell training is hip power.
Kettlebell cleans are a great exercise to use in your MMA or kettlebell training workouts for developing hip power as well as a fundamental movement if you’re using KBs to bring the bell to the rack position for other exercises like squats and presses.
But I myself have had issues when I use a heavier bell with bruising my forearms.

I even broke a watch cleaning a kettlebell one time because I forgot to take it off!
You may be thinking, “Don’t be such a pussy Eric, man up!”
The thing is if your S&C workouts either stop you from training MMA or negatively impact your MMA training, you’ve got to find ways to eliminate or minimize it.
It has nothing to do with being tough – just being smart.
So I asked my buddy Chris Lopez who is a certified kettlebell training instructor through some crazy Russian dude to show me how to clean a kettlebell properly so you don’t have to use lighter weights because you’re killing your forearms.
And of course, I filmed it for you, so I hope you enjoy the video.
I’ve made these changes to my technique and they’ve helped tremendously. I no longer beat my forearms up during kettlebell training workouts whenever I do the clean!
