18 May 5 Ways To Improve Your Kettlebell Snatch

Posted at 14:56h in Kettlebell Training 8 Comments

I remember a few years ago when I discovered the kettlebell snatch. That was around the time I had decided I was going to train to become an RKC certified kettlebell instructor. So, looking over the requirements for certification, one of the requirements was to perform 100 kettebell snatches with a 24kg (53lb) kettlebell in 5 minutes or less. When I made my 1st attempt at this, it wasn't pretty and I definitely had my work cut for me to get to that level of strength and conditioning. After a lot of practice rounds, technique work, and relentless conditioning, I finally made the 'snatch test' a staple in my conditioning training. Even today, the snatch test is never easy, but it is always achievable and an insanely effective 5 minute "all-out" conditioning experience.
