Kettlebell Snatch

What is a Kettlebell Snatch?

The Kettlebell Snatch is a foundational kettlebell exercise that serves as a building block for kettlebell strength training. Unlike a rigid dumbbell, the ball-shaped weight has a single handle that makes it easier to create and control momentum and carry out three-dimensional movements.

Det siger eksperten

It is actually surprisingly easier to use a heavier weight.

If your weight is too light, it moves fast and crashes hard against your wrist, but a heavier weight rotates smoothly around your wrist with less impact.
