How to: Kettlebell Double Snatch
- Stand with your feet shoulder-width apart, holding a kettlebell with both hands between your legs.
- Squat slightly to prepare for the lift.
- In one explosive motion, lift the kettlebell by driving through your legs and extending your arms overhead.
- Allow the kettlebell to pass through your hips before fully extending your arms again for stabilization.
- Lower the kettlebell back down with control and repeat for the desired number of repetitions.
Common Mistakes
- Using too much momentum instead of strength.
- Not maintaining proper form, leading to shoulder strain.
- Failing to fully extend the arms at the top of the movement.
Modifications
- Use lighter kettlebells to reduce strain.
- Perform the movement seated or kneeling to reduce lower body involvement.
Tips
- Maintain a neutral spine during the lift.
- Focus on explosive power to safely lift the kettlebell.
- Ensure your shoulder is stable and not overextended.
