Kettlebell snatch

Muscles worked

How to do it

1. Start with a one-handed swing.
2. Drive the hips hard and let the bell travel close to the body, elbow high.
3. As the bell reaches face height, punch the hand up through the handle so it lands softly on the back of the forearm.
4. Lock out overhead, biceps by the ear. Drop it back down into the swing path.

Common mistakes

• The bell flipping over and banging the wrist — punch through earlier and keep it close.
• Pressing it up with the shoulder — the hips launch it.
• Learning it on a heavy bell — master swings and high pulls first.
