Single kettlebell snatch
Skill Tree
Technique
- Stand with the feet shoulder width apart and a Kettlebell on the floor slightly in front of you.
- Hinge at the hips, grab the handle with one hand and hike the kettlebell back between your legs.
- Snap your hips forward to swing it up close to your body, pulling the elbow high.
- As it rises past your chest, punch your hand up through the handle so the kettlebell flips softly onto the back of your forearm, arm locked overhead.
- Bring it back down along the same path into the next swing.
Form tips
- The power comes from the hips, not from pressing with the arm.
- Punch through early so the kettlebell does not bang on your forearm.
