How To Do The Perfect Kettlebell Snatch | Kettlebell Lifestyle

In this episode Kettlebell Master of Sport, Mike Salemi (kettlebellllifestyle.com) breaks down the art of the kettlebell snatch. One of the most complex kettlebell movements can be divided into two types of drops.

How should you let the kettlebell drop?

The first relates more towards a hard style technique
hinge based movement

Kettlebell flipping over the top

Little less technical

If you're using this technique it can also go wrong in a lot of ways

The further away from the body the more problematic

If the timing is off, a lot of torque and pull on your back

Shooting a basketball but keep the follow through close to the body

2nd type of drop

Efficient as possible with the movement

Corkscrewing the hand

Unraveling vs finesse or soft cast

Deflect and lean torso back

Keeps the kettlebell closer to the midline

Turn your palm up

45 degree angle into the heel of the palm

Transition to the fingers

Allow the elbow to bend and allow contact from upper arm to torso

Before you feel any weight in the hands the arm should be fully straight

With the snatch often the most limiting factor is the grip

Common mistake is grabbing the bell too tight

Make sure wrist is neutral, the elbow is fully straight and you've absorbed it with the torso at the right time
