Exercise Description

Single-Arm Kettlebell Snatch is an advanced whole-body exercise that develops the entire posterior chain of the body while building power, coordination, strength, and cardiovascular fitness simultaneously.

Exercise Instructions

  • Step 1

    Standing in a partial squat, feet slightly wider than shoulder-width, take the kettlebell in one hand with an overhand grip. Let your arm hang in front of your body so that the kettlebell is between your legs.
  • Step 2

    Jump out of the squat and lift the kettlebell up. When you reach the shoulders, turn your arm and keep throwing punches. Hold the kettlebell directly above your head with your arm fully extended. Pause and then return to the starting position.

Exercise Tips

  • Control the kettlebell throughout the exercise so that it does not hit your arm at the top of the movement.
  • Keep the kettlebell close to your body throughout the exercise.
  • Focus on lifting with your hips, not your arms.
