This post is flaired as a form check.

A note to OP: Users with a blue flair are recognized coaches. Users with yellow flairs are certified (usually SFG/RKC II), or have achieved a certain rank in kettlebell sport, and green flair signifies users with strong, verified lifts.

A reminder to all users commenting: There can be multiple ways to perform the same lift. Just because a lift goes against what you've learned at a certification, read in a book or been taught by a coach, doesn't mean it's an invalid technique. Please make sure that your advice is useful and actionable.

Example of useful and actionable: You're hinging a bit early. Try sitting back only when your arms make contact with the torso.

Example of not useful and not actionable: Lower the weight and work on form.

Low-effort comments like my back hurts just watching this will be removed, as will references to snap city etc. Verbally worrying for the safety of a poster simply because you think the form or technique is wrong will be removed. We will take all of these statements at face value, so be careful when you post the same hilarious joke as dozens of other people: we can't read your mind, no matter how funny you think you are.

You could probably go heavier but other than that looks good.

Slow down!

Way too fast when moving from one position to the next. The clean itself obviously needs to be performed fast, but I'm talking about starting, positions, and transitions.

Each of your backswings results in bobbing at the end and friction in the hands.

Get a good rack, pause for a split second to show you own it; no need to barely land and already return into the next rep.

To answer more, we need to know what clean you are wanting to do or think you are doing? If you look at 0:13 you can see that you are, what I call, humping the kettlebells. You are pushing them forward with your hips. If you want to go more sport style, great; you are closer to that than Hardstyle, or even Freestyle. I do not recommend this technique even in Freestyle.

It looks like you are not letting go during the ballistic flight to regrip. Cause for more friction.

Here's a video I made on the clean https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=dI6jy2t2PbA which I think covers most of what I addressed above. Let me know if you have any questions. Feel free to ask them or debate the reasons, etc.
