Hey, camera person, keep the kettlebell in frame. Seriously though, amazingly helpful!

[@stormrider1119]

Honestly think this is the best explanation of KB snatches I've found on YT and I've watched a lot as I find it difficult to get the synchronisation correct. Thanks man, much appreciated.

[@ptrichie71]

Yeah same here! I struggle with the syncro and am forever having the kettle smash into my wrist!

[@bobdole7292]

if you cannot complete more snatches solely because your grip and hand is cramping, are you doing it wrong?

[@stormrider1119]

@@bobdole7292 sounds to me like you just need to build up gradually, doesn't necessarily mean you are doing it wrong. For snatches at the start I would only be doing say 3 to 5 at a time until I got comfortable with them. As with everything kettlebell related it just requires regular practice and you soon improve.

[@dragnhatchz]

Agreed 👍🏼

[@toasterboy708]

Great progression for overall practice: 3 Double Handed Swings 3 Single Handed Swings 3 Cleans 3 Clean & Press 3 C&P Snatch Down 3 Snatch Up C&P Down 3 Snatch Swap Sides

Excellent instructions for mastering kettlebell snatch 🎯💥🤝🤙

[@hattorihanzo8385]

This video needs to be rewatched atleast 20 times over the next year. Comprehensive..👍

[@jaycohen5482]

Outstanding presentation AND content. My only GO TO site for KB and Functional Movement instruction. Thanks Mark.

[@dmehani46]

I’m in my early 70’s and I’ve been practicing KB workouts for about 2 months. I weight 166 pounds, my upper body is not too strong. I use a 25 pound KB doing squats and clean and press and hand to hand swings and American and Russian swings... I would like to practice the clean snatch. What weight should I use? I know that 25 pounds is too heavy for me at this time for the snatch.. thanks

[@pipmeyer2238]

I would build up your strength first before you move into the more complicated movements, get good at two and one have swings, cleans, gettuos, and the press and then, after you are really comfortable and confident with those movements, move into the snatch

[@rodbrakes4189]

Brilliant explanations. So much detail in 11 minutes. Watched this at home. Will practice tomorrow in the gym and then probably come back when i screw it up. Thanks for sharing.

[@MattVirtualRuns12]

I’m 3:57 in and I have already learned why I’ve been chewing my hands up for the last few years when doing these! The pinky information alone is gold! Thank you sir! Finishing up watching now.

[@johndemaria9408]

Excellent explanation of a complicated lift.

[@matthewhager270]

I just started kettlebell training for the last month or so. Your videos are incredibly helpful for me. Sometimes, before I even do the exercise, I watch your video on it just to make sure I have the movement right. Thanks Wildman. You're the best.

[@barfboy2000]

snatch has got to be one of the more intimidating movements wrt kettlebell training for those not formally trained by someone who knows what they speak. Thank you for your guidance. The baby step of snatching down sounds perfect, can't wait to try it.

[@joenicedj]

This is another excellent video about kettlebells. Thank you, Mark.

[@mshefliniskl]

Mark, you're the first person I've ever watched that talks about how you can take the snatch halfway up, a little bit higher, or all the way. You and Steve Cotter be da men! Keep it up man!

[@dreehl1]

Mark, this channel is Gold. Took some SF courses years back and then fell out of it. Your channel has inspired me to spend time with my kettlebells again and it feels amazing.

[@dtw4326]

I keep coming back to these fundamentals appreciate your methodical approach to technique Mark

[@machyavelli4890]

Mark Wildman, your clarity of instruction is exemplary. Many thanks.

[@ptrichie71]

As already said, This is the best tutorial for the Snatch on YT! I really struggle with the rolling the KB around the wrist but will use your advice from now on going forward! Cheers Mark!

[@bodhic6199]

Thank you! This is the best breakdown of the snatch that I’ve seen. It really helped clarify some points of confusion for me, specifically around the hands.

[@Stillnapie]

Great videos!! I've been using KB's for a decade and your instruction is the best I have seen.

[@jasonacraft]

My goodness this is amazing level detail! How do you not have more subscribers?!

[@IgnatiusCheese]

Because hes fucking Wild, Man

[@damianhinch2907]

Not enough booty workouts, not enough being a girl with a booty, general lack of booty

[@jasonacraft]

@@damianhinch2907 good point... Mark, get on that would ya?

[@pavanmuthanna2166]

I’ve wondered the same thing.

[@ajw9533]

Because he does not bullshit.

[@proverbs11vs30]

Thanks so much, your talk about wrist placement/rotation etc is so very helpful and I dont think many people talk about it, it's something that has helped me in my snatch/cleans etc

[@ovargas0430]

Just started working out with kettlebells. You are my go to guy for training videos. Thanks Mark.

[@pauliepockets1249]

Your teaching technique and presentation is the best I've seen on the net regardless of topic.

[@hitenmakwana]

Brilliant demo and tutorial - thank you for showing all the connected movements

[@philipgarrey7441]

Mark, you are a good kettlebell instructor especially hardstyle version.This is one of the best hardstyle version of the snatch. Simple and direct instructions to follow that leads to desired goals.

[@egeatilla5308]

Started working out to Steve Cotter's workouts a few months ago. Went on youtube to make sure I'm doing everything right and you are providing the most clear and concise explanations for the moves for a beginner like me, thanks a bunch.

[@cshirle3]

Incredible instruction. Thank you! Having said that, I think this is one of the few videos out there that could benefit from vertical shooting.

[@rudycanda]

I have been afraid of doing kettlebell snatches since i started my kettlebell workouts a month ago but the progressions here have helped me a lot. The wrist banging I was afraid of wasn't even that bad thanks to all the info in this video.

[@Iron-Bridge]

Your channel is the best and most effective explanation for kettlebell technique across the Internet for me. And I've searched a lot of places. Especially since I've just bought my first kettlebell and need zero bull straightforward instruction.

[@brians7100]

Very helpful video. Appreciate the content always. Underrated channel!

[@liubomirspassow9636]

Great explanation - detailed and step by step! Good job!

[@sharmishtha623]

Amazing video as always!!! You’re my absolute go to for all things kettlebell, Mark!! The only thing if I may point is, your camera person could work on his/ her recording skills a bit... some of the main movements and angles are just out of the frame... so whilst you do explain them so amazingly, it’s really hard to see them in the video. But thanks anyway. 👍 you’re the best.

[@Rid3thetig3r]

This is great info Mark, and your maths based approach to progress really inspired me to start kb again. Thanks.

[@burpeesandbells]

Tis in my humble opinion, the best explanation and display of how to perfect the technique on KZbin 👍

[@craigpalin685]

Outstanding. Thank you so much. I’m completely new to Kettlebell training and this is so clear and very helpful. ☺️👍

[@glencarolo2597]

Really enjoy your videos. Very informative with excellent delivery. Thank you!

[@gunner5217]

This is very good instruction , I’m building this into my program , cool how he breaks it down and builds up , really useful 👍nice one mark

[@TCN2024]

Unable to train olympic weightlifting with Covid-19 so purchased a 35 lbs KB other day. Your videos have helped tremendously with technique and movement patterns. New sub and liked, thank you!

[@n34z3r]

Really well explained video. I needed this and introducing 1 of my sons to this.

[@GeorgeTJ]

I hope you get more viewers very soon. You're the best KB coach I've come accross.

[@user-hy6ls4eo8z]

Clear and useful introductions, thank you.

[@stevenkelly3417]

Perfect break down, learned heaps.

[@deathless12345678]

Thanks for this vid. I have had issuses doing the clean and have not even ventured to the snatch. Between this and you other videos I am locking in where i need to be. Cannot wait to get home and put this into practice.

[@sam-yule3912]

Thanks for the tips. This video answered a lot of my questions.

[@mtbcyclist]

#1 guy on youtube for kettlebell. Like the detail especially about the rotation around the wrist at the top of the snatch so you don't smack your wrist with the kettlebell which I was doing.

[@Bob06460]

Excellent video. Very clear explanation. Thank you.

[@LorenzoKiki]

What a thorough and clear explanation! Thx. 👍

[@andrewgoldberg5129]

Great explanation of the KBS technique.

[@pierosanchez2010]

Thank you so much! I am new to KB and was going over my hand beating up my forearms. I will practice these ASAP!

[@NunyaB1s]

This is the most simple and sinister snatch training video I’ve ever watched. I own kettlebells but haven’t used them much until COVID. I’m also loving how you teach both styles. This is as efficient as possible. Wish I could like twice.

[@MarkWildman]

Glad it was helpful. i mix lots of styles training. take what works. pitch the rest.

[@fredfrond6148]

Nice clear instruction with lots of repetition. Each repetition probiding more information.👍

[@Stadno]

Your explanations are soooo good!! I'm not lying about straight-up deleting previously saved vids on Kettlebell exercises & just using yours. Now to put it to practice. I'm also wondering why my trainer didn't show me how to not hit myself.. he just told me not to do it.. okey.. but I didn't understand why I couldn't stop!

[@peteuthai]

Nice technique breakdown, thanks!

[@MarkWildman]

Glad to help

Just starting out on KB, this is a great tutorial step by step explanation.

I refer my friends to your videos for correct technique using kettlebells.. I learnt more by watching your excellent breakdowns of kettlebell exercises than what my personal trainer taught me b4 Covid19 locked us all down.. Saved my wrists and my back & I'm able train harder for longer now.. Have you got any training programs from beginners to advanced? Thank you Mark, keep up the awesome work.. 💪👍

I wish I could you more than 1 thumbs up. I'm a absolutely dummy when it comes to coordination but I got it the first time watching this.

[@DivineREDxo]

He's really good at explaining and demonstrating and it doesn't hurt that he's really cute. LOL I went out an bought a baby 10lb kettlebell after watching his videos on the topic.

[@ElidaKaraivanova]

Thank you so much for this video, it was eye-opening!!! I got so excited, I started doing snatches halfway through it following your guidance and it was a game changer! Amazing, thank you so much!

I'm new at kettlebells training. Already see and feel some results. After gym rings, by my opinion, kettlebells are second minimalistic tool Im gonna use for years. i considering you as personal coach since I'm taking every piece of your advices and trying to implement. Not easy, many useful tips and it will take some time but going in the right direction. Tnx Mark for your remarkable work!
