Programming notes

Kettlebell Clean spreads its load across glutes, traps and biceps without a single dominant mover. Give the primary movers roughly 72 hours before loading them hard again. In the same session it pairs cleanly with Barbell Bench Press, whose primary movers don't overlap with anything this exercise works.
