Honestly, I feel like this exercise is, well, pointless. Its done so unexplosively, and really just looks like the lovechild of a curl and swing buttfucking. Compared to a clean with a barbell it just seems kinda silly. I know if you do 500 reps for time ala Crossfit it can be very physically draining, but in terms of developing any semblance of speed and power, I really don’t see it.

Any person who has tried doing high repetition olympic lifting, either barbell or kettlebell, should have respect to the people who are willing to do it. It’s tougher than squats… As far as high rep kettlebell cleans improving your explosive strength, absolute bullshit.
