5 Mistakes You’re Making with the Kettlebell Snatch (2021)

Sup brotha! In this video I'll be breaking down the 5 mistakes you're making with the kettlebell snatch.
That's right.
This is a continuation of our common kettlebell mistakes series and...
... We're finally getting into the "sexy" kettlebell exercises.
By now, I'm sure everyone has heard, the kettlebell snatch is the Tsar -- king -- of kettlebell lifts.
I would argue this would be the kettlebell jerk. But I what I would say is the kettlebell snatch is the BEST single movement kettlebell exercise.

I’m seriously tempted to agree with you on the KB Jerk! It is my favorite KB exercise when attempting to move up to a heavier KB!

[@strongashec]

TOTALLY! Man. It's my go-to. Happy lifting.

[@billvance5995]

This is such clear teaching all throughout, and I found it to be incredibly useful. Currently learning the snatch and I'm excited to go and apply what I've learned here. A big 'thank you' for this clear and thoughtful content!

[@strongashec]

Bill, glad this was helpful. How long have you been training (and snatching)?

[@IdrisFashan]

This is incredible. Thank you, and thanks KZbin algorithm lords!

[@strongashec]

Glad it was helpful for you. Appreciate you watching 🙌🏾

[@iChefTheImpossible]

[@strongashec]

Awesome man! Glad it was helpful. Appreciate ya watching.

Thanks for sharing, it helped me a lot

[@strongashec]

So glad it was helpful. Thanks for watching.

[@doersphysique]

Thank you Hec... pls, could you make the same "mistake" Video for the double KBs Snatch. Stay strong

[@strongashec]

Very welcome. Glad this was helpful. I’ll make a note on the double snatch. 💪🏽

[@doersphysique]

@@strongashec i'll appreciate it 🙏🏾💪🏾⚡

[@DJSPY006]

Great video. I’ve been doing #2 and didn’t even know it. Already corrected it.

[@strongashec]

Awesome man! Glad this has been helpful for ya. Appreciate ya watching. How long have you been training with kettlebells?

[@DJSPY006]

@@strongashec On and off for 6 years. I mainly just stuck with swings. For the year I've been focusing on properly learning the snatch, clean etc.

[@strongashec]

@@DJSPY006 right on. I have videos on this channel for those as well.

[@pasibrzuch212]

thank you for the tutorial. It's great to see some content on the low pull snatch - I've been trying to learn this variation for a year now - with no success. I'm either overpulling or not taming the arc. Now I will use my punching back as an external cue. Probably will have to humbly lower the weight. Do you see some merit in doing low pulls exclusively before I'm able to snatch the bell correctly?

[@strongashec]

Glad this has been helpful for. Appreciate you watching. Yeah, if you're still learning the snatch, you could make he low pull a focus. Here's a 3 part series I did on the snatch which could be of help for you too.

[@pasibrzuch212]

@@strongashec thank you so much! I think snatch is an exercise you learn till the end of your life :) I managed to get to 32kg a+a snatches, but, as I said, I'm unable to tame the arc. Right now I'm binge watching your channel, so gonna implement all the cues for my snatch and military press :)

[@strongashec]

@@pasibrzuch212 right on!

[@NotaF3D]

I've been doing high rep snatches for years with a deep squat for almost a decade, 90 degrees knee angle. But i saw some vids that say to hinge and not squat. Why not squat? Nobody ever explains that. I feel like its harder, and i only stop squatting so deep when I'm exhausted

[@strongashec]

Hey bud... this is a great question which merits a detail response. I've put this in queue to create a piece of content on this.

[@NotaF3D]

@strongashec awesome thanks! ive been squatting less for the past few weeks and it feels like it's less demanding cardio wise and more demanding on muscles somehow. I always did shallow squats to make the cardio easier when I was at my limit

[@xene911]

Can I see a little Tim Almond‘s influence? Love it!

[@xene911]

By the way: watch out, you pull back the shoulders when going up (see slow motion in the grip section)

[@strongashec]

Tim Almond influence? I know Tim but not familiar with how he teaches.

[@lewisham]

No offence, but this feels too long for the content. I don’t have 30+ minutes to find out what are essentially 5 quick tips.

[@strongashec]

Hey Alex, thanks for making the time to leave a comment. Appreciate your feedback. Looks like my content isn’t for you then.

[@lewisham]

@@strongashec hi there, I meant it as constructive criticism, I guess yes I have a short attention span.
