Improve Your Kettlebell Snatch With These Tips

DO KETTLEBELL SNATCHES HURT?
A question I get very often is, “how do you make it so the kettlebell doesn’t slam on your forearm?”
The PUNCH THROUGH! 🤜🏽
Punching through is basically extending your fist and kettlebell handle so that they both sweep under the bell.
This movement flips the kettlebell upside down so that the large part of the kettlebell makes contact with the forearm before the bell reaches its highest point. This prevents the bell from crashing down on the forearm when it’s above you.
Helpful tips:
-Don’t death grip the bell. The handle needs some wiggle room to rotate and flip the bell.
-Punch Through while the kettlebell is weightless. This is usually the point when the kettlebell loses most of its momentum. During the snatch, that’s usually right as the kettlebell is above eyebrow or forehead level.
-Practice lower punch throughs. Watch the portion of the video when I start at eye level and work my way to a full snatch.

I usually take my fitness watch off, good idea to turn it inward.

[@AndroidCraft1000]

But does it still measure biometrics?

[@Jay41]

⁠@@AndroidCraft1000 lol of course it does. I only wear my watch inward. I mean usually when people check for a pulse it’s either the neck or the inside of the wrist so yeah.

[@orldoming]

I wear a polar chest strap H10. I never have this issue.

[@ulisesmartinez1930]

Discovered that after some screen protectors shattered

[@AndroidCraft1000]

@@orldoming Looks like a good option, probably I'll get one

[@DavidMarkun]

Nice drill for building the skill. An insight that helped me: note that when it hurts, the arm is straight on the way up. Punch through is enabled by putting a little bend into the elbow by pulling the bell toward the body as it flies up.

[@recurvearcher6542]

Small but incredibly important detail.

Finally, an explanation I can understand 💪🏽

[@74nakiam]

Love this breakdown. I love snatches and of all the vids I've seen, I love this one!!!!❤

[@morenoh149]

Awesome, that low punch through practice will definitely help

[@morenoh149]

I like snatch

[@lesegoleso4918]

Been struggling with this one,I'll keep working on it. 🔥

[@dietmarparc8619]

Great explained how to do the snatch wiithout chrash on forearm! Thank you very much!!!

[@TheMors1975]

Best explanation ever Semper Fi

[@tomdahulk]

What a great instructional video, thanks! Short, sweet, to the point, and extremely informative.

[@pauldiahy167]

I tried this and dislocated my shoulder thank you

[@vincedgarvlogs]

You are weak

[@attilacsizmadia716]

Great tutorials here!

[@Crissy_sheree25]

Great instructional video Thank you

[@luna_soleil]

A clean and snatch works better for me vs a swing

[@georgeorwell6909]

Thank you

[@harryv6752]

I'm fairly new to KB training and this is an awesome and detailed tutorial on snatches. Thanks! 🤘

[@dennisboyd8872]

Punch through THANK YOU I started today and it was fun but I wasn't punching through so my forearm is tight right now 😂😂😂 but this was great info for tomorrow's session

[@bethduncan665]

Excellent demo! Thankyou!

[@michellem9392]

GREAT BREAKDOWN, THANKS!

Thanks for making it make sense.

[@codykirkland9002]

OMG!!! Thank you for this progression. That drill is going to save me. Haha

[@SimonKelly21]

Brilliant video. Thanks

[@AaronWyantMS]

Power is all about Timing, babaay!

[@leeolie3728]

Ive hated kettlebells snatch for years as Ive never gotten the technique down right. Every now and then I do it correctly but usually it would slam into my forearms so Ive just avoided this one but will try again

[@nig3ljo]

This really helped, i can do them easily now 😃😃

[@haotzeoom6667]

thank you very much

[@rangerthederpgoat2326]

That's dope, thanks!

[@pierrecontrepas7078]

Bravo.

[@mander1n693]

Thank you for this

[@devteazaver]

Thank you brother

[@BassSniper209]

This helps thank you

[@BluegillGreg]

I assumed the kettlebell was supposed to remain ball down, handle up and travel around the forearm, not upside down over the fingers and then down onto the forearm.

[@MrBee-cp9pt]

Thank you ❤❤❤

[@eltonvogel3795]

The universe sent you!!!!! 🤗😅

[@RachelReaiah]

So the arm is locked or is it slightly bent?😊

[@sugasuga5241]

Thanks 🙏🙏

[@caseD5150]

“Full snatch “ 😂😂

[@brianmyers220]

The punch isn't what makes the SN smooth, it's the redirection of the arc and sneaking under the bell as it goes overhead.

[@putrariskiadi1906]

Ahaaaaa thanks

[@sonnyjay1347]

What body parts and benefits does this work out have? Thanks

[@LowKey_ITB]

Just curious 🤔 what part of the muscles does that work 🤔

[@Ulian_israeli]

Классический рывок и сброс намного лучше!

[@tetractysproductions]

I am doing that but it is still slamming on my forearm. I think the 'arc' of the kettlebell is my problem. I'm making it go in an arc instead of straight up.

[@rogerp2910]

A kettlebell slamming is rarely caused by a bad punch. It’s usually from not using your legs to move the bell.

[@stretch1807]

You also may be going too slow

[@ericankney5957]

The physics of it make sense for the arc idea. If you watch close, the cg of his bell is basically going straight up and slowing to a stop at the top. At the moment his arm contacts the bell, there isn't kinetic energy from the bell driving towards the arm. With your 'big circle arc', there is remaining lateral motion in the bell slamming into your arm when they meet.

[@morenoh149]

Unlike the swing, which puts the bell out away from your body, the snatch has the bell go up and close to the body

[@williamalvarado1419]

What person above me said. There should be minimal swing with a KB snatch, try a lighter weight. Timing is important in this movement as well

[@adiwoodzko9495]

Love snatches but girievoy dont hurt and save strenght and endurance for a while

[@orldoming]

That's the issue with those kettlebells, they don't sit right in ur arm. The competition ones never do that.

[@eduardogonzalezamandi2011]

❤💪💪👍

[@g3nz0d]

What do these work?

[@MrFedup57]

I like this exercise, but when the kettlebell goes back and hits your arm, it can be painful.

[@no_levels9883]

Hurt my wrist listening to this guy "dont punch thru "

[@user-vl1sg7yh1h]

Дверь красивая

[@mega.therion3008]

At first I thought you where doing it on purpose for some karate training.

[@mynextboyfriend]

Snatches only hurt when you've raised their kids and they leave you for a couch surfer 😎💨

[@user-pr4gy3tr6t]

Рывок с втыканием кисти через сторону? Нееее, не слышал никогда....

[@das32x32]

Оба варианта неправильные

[@shumatych]

Чувак чересчур напряжён и зачем он согнул нерабочую руку,она должна свободно и расслаблено висеть.В верхней точке пальцы лучше разжать для отдыха.Ох уж эти кроссфитовцы,которые хотят стать гиревиками )

[@ajitsd]

Didn't understand anything

[@user-fv3nz9dr5v]

Техника рывка пиздец🤭

[@badboybootz8]

Yeah that didnt show anything lol

[@ericankney5957]

It does, shows a lot... Watch the center of the bells mass and see where it's kinetic energy is going. In the 'bad lift', the mass is slamming into his arm, and that adds up to pain. In the 'good lift', the mass moves straight, and is slowing to a stop linearly, while the punch through imparts a rotational motion so that his arm comes to meet the bell while it's largely stationary, so, not driving it's energy through the forearm as before.

[@t-hop39]

Learn to not do this bullshit💀

[@traytate4055]

Best explanation and technique I’ve seen 🫡

[@thecougarprince]

Don't wag you finger at me @fpvfunk
