THE SNATCH LIFT METHOD
Here is a basic outline of the Snatch technique
1) Swing the kettlebell back
between the legs with a
straight-arm and relaxed
shoulder.
2) Let the bell come forward
(without pulling it), and
following through with the
hips
3) When the bell reaches the
point of “weightlessness” at
the top of the swing, pull
the shoulder back to direct
upward movement.
4) Shift your weight back
and let the kettlebell fly up,
opening the hand to let the
bell flip over.
5) Catch the bell in the overhead
position with the hand
fully inserted into the handle,
arm straight, joints stacked.
6) Turn the hip to initiate the
drop of the kettlebell with
your body instead of your
hand.
7) Keep your torso upright
as the bell turns and starts
to drop.
8) Let the upper arm come in
close to the body as the bell
drops, and wait for your arm
to be cushioned by the hips
before letting the chest come
down as you hinge forward.
9) Let the bell dictate the
depth of your backswing
before the next repetition.
the Most gruelLing part of a 10-Minute
set is convincing oneself to keep pushing
through to the very end.
