I've watched lots of snatch tutorials and this is by far and away the best, you have a great way of explaining things. I have never heard of or considered the importance of keeping the arm connected for longer but it makes perfect sense! The sound effects were the cherry on top 👌 much appreciated, thank you
This somehow made my "catch" feel better too. It is way easier to land in the hook of my fingers when it stays on a more vertical plane it seems. Many thanks 🙏🙏
@@kettlebellmusclegain Found you through Reddit. Your technique videos are great. Thank you! As somebody trying to teach themselves due to gym restrictions/COVID (and having a hard time finding a good KB trainer nearby who could do outdoors), this is so helpful!
Thank you so much for explaining the little (but super important) details of this technique! Can't wait to implement this when attempting the 300-snatch workout you detailed in one of your livestreams from a few months back. Much appreciated!!
@@kettlebellmusclegain Right on, oh for sure man, I've done my research, I know the proper sources for this kettle bell thing particularly here in USA, and that be you among a small select few. Of course I don't have to tell you that. But I've got just two years in now with the kettle bells, changed my life. Any chance I get to do so I will suggest the kettle bell and "swing this kettle bell" resource for one to change their life as well.
Good kettlebell technique seems to benefit from thinking about elbows a lot.. my clean and rack position are both much better when i think about getting my elbow in contact with my side waist as soon as my arm comes up than when i think about getting my wrist and hand into the correct position around the handle 😎
Best explanation ever. Such a graceful movement and yet so demanding. I have ripped up my shoulders too many times at CrossFit, thousands of stalls and snatches later and now they are solid. Best tool ever, Great coaching. Thanks
I had to comeback after my workout to ThaNk You!! for this video. I felt real good with after my workout today. It had a lot of overhead kb exercises and bottoms up cleans. I stayed with my weight and kept the connection and paid especially attention to my lats(what is that?) I am still learning about my muscles. But I found my lats and know now it is keeping the KB from going rogue on me when it is above my head. I am glad tomorrow is a rest day.
Great tutorial...and I like the visual of Velcro (except any notion of ‘ripping’ something is a thought I don’t want in my head). I’ve watched many of your videos but don’t recall seeing one on cues for starting the drop by uncorking the bell and deflecting properly?
Going up and catching the Kettlebell is not a problem. Bring the KB down is a big mystery. I still have not able to learn it. So still sticking with half snatch. 😔😔😔😔😔
I totally understand and if you're never going to compete then half snatch is definitely the way to go but if you want to practice some more full snatch look at my playlists for the kettlebell snatch and there are many videos on the drop catch
Yes it can be search my kettlebell natch playlist for slow mo I have over 10p snatch videos..also I offer consultations and live video critiques at www.kbmuscle.com
Greatest find of the year! Your vids are awesome. I've noticed that when I snatch, the glute on the opposite side to my arm holding the KB seems to be doing more work. Is this correct?
Sure thing. It actually decreases imbalances due to evening out both side. Im working on a stagfered stance RDL video now for Instagram. Similar situation.
@@kettlebellmusclegain Looking forward to that one. Would be interesting to hear what you think on thumb position at the back of the swing too, so pointing foward, angled or back
@DeltaScalper lots of different variables if you're not looking to get into kettle falls Ford you could set a timer and alternate hands every 5 or so reps and see if you could set a 5-minute limit and see how many you can get by alternating by fives then you could change those variables around later
@@kettlebellmusclegain Thanks man. When I get to the 70lbs, I gotta use chalk, because if I sweat, my control suffers. The open palm at the top at 45 degrees helps. I pay close attention to your technique. Thanks again
Youre Welcome. You may need to back off the heavy for a while until pain subsides. Perhaps stay with 24 to 28 for a bit. If its a bit of tendonitis inflammation, Its not gonna go away with out less stress.

I like this guy, humble and honest. Just subscribed!
Thanks alot! Got a lot for you to dive in
@@kettlebellmusclegain Do you follow Valery Fedorenko's teachings, because your technique is spot on!
Holy shit that Velcro cue is super helpful.
Very welcome.
Probably one of the easiest follow videos. However dude is seriously breathless. Thanks for posting.
When you talk, while lifting actual weight, That means youre not taking breathes in to refill your oxygen capacity. ;)
Youre welcome btw.
I need to keep the imaginary velcro in mind when snatching. Great tip.
Or get real stuff! ;)
This is such a great breakdown. The Velcro analogy is perfect! 👌🏼
Thanks man. Ive always used that
Wow! That velcro analogy man! SO easy to remember, so easy to check and feel in every rep. Eye opener Joe, really great stuff
Thanks. Deftones fan!
One of the most important kb snatch tip! Thanks
Very welcome

Of course it is. ;)
I just made a video about this. Thanks for reminding me.

Been doing snatches for almost a year and mimic your technique... but this is just golden!
Happy to hear!
Love this! Basic biomechanics stressed in a complex movement.
Thats it. Not many people think or talk about it. The internet is filled with high level influencers with terrible form

Great. Happy to help
You should play ZZ Top Velcro Fly in the background, for the clients to remember the velcro analogy :) Great advice as always!
Ha thanks
Excellent tip.
Great video.
Short, informative and to the point.
I Appreciate that !
Awesome explanation as always Joe. U r the man.
Thank you!
The best advice in snatch improvement available on UA-cam. Thank you 💪
Youre welcome! Happy it helped.

Oooh your very welcome.
This just solved my main issue with the snatch. Thank you Joe!
Happy to hear.
I appreciate this instruction. Thank you.

Great video. I needed this. Watched hundreds of videos, this one was the info I needed.
Well that makes me feel good im glad!

Absolutely. That's the connection.
Dude! Nature is magic!
So much. Wore that shirt yesterday
Very helpful.

Thank you! Please share it and help our reach if you can
I’m loving your instructions ~ the bit I’m struggling with is dropping the kettlebell back down!
Yes I have other videos on the drop /catch on my KETTLEBELL SNATCH PLAYLIST.
Good description. Thanks a lot.
Welcome
Wonderful - thanks for this.
Youre welcome!
super effective coaching cues. great video. great job! thanks
Thanks man. Share it for me if you dont mind!
Love it. Im getting ready for my RKC. Definitely going to keep this in mind.
Nice. They may teach it different but mechanics still the same.
The cue I needed!!
Heck yeah! Youre not alone. Glad you found it! Stay in touch!
Great video

Great!

I started snatching recently and one of my shoulders was complaining already. This makes total sense/feel way better on my joints. Level 🆙
Why hell yeah!
Going up and catching the Kettlebell is not a problem. Bring the KB down is a big mystery. I still have not able to learn it. So still sticking with half snatch. 😔😔😔😔😔

Also you can look at my instagram.com/swingthiskettlebell channel it has lots of slow mo snatch
Verry helpfull, thx:)
Yeah this is a good one you're very welcome
Getting the rotation thing at the top right as you come down is so tricky. How did you learn it? Trying to watch people do it in videos is hard
Yes it can be search my kettlebell natch playlist for slow mo I have over 10p snatch videos..also I offer consultations and live video critiques at www.kbmuscle.com
THANK YOOOOOOOOOOUUUUUUUUU❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤
Very welcome
Greatest find of the year! Your vids are awesome. I've noticed that when I snatch, the glute on the opposite side to my arm holding the KB seems to be doing more work. Is this correct?
Thanks!. And yes with one arm swings cleans and snatches, opposite leg does more.
@@kettlebellmusclegain Ace! Makes me feel more comfortable that Im not creating an imbalance. Thanks for the quick reply!
Sure thing. It actually decreases imbalances due to evening out both side. Im working on a stagfered stance RDL video now for Instagram. Similar situation.
@@kettlebellmusclegain Looking forward to that one. Would be interesting to hear what you think on thumb position at the back of the swing too, so pointing foward, angled or back
I have a few. This is recent.P ositions for clean . all depends on anatomy and muscle fatigue
And there was me thinking that I did cleans and snatches all wrong a few years ago with little experience.
What do you mean?
I know this is an old video , question , what do you do for your palm not to be burned from the rotation ?
You're actually letting go a bit. There should be no friction. Regrip once the bell is in single arm swing position.
@@kettlebellmusclegain thanks , will try tomorrow
Try this ua-cam.com/video/AWBJ_OyyWXA/v-deo.html
@@kettlebellmusclegain exactly what I needed. I’m 48 5,7 148 M. Did 35lb 15 times , what would you say my target should be eventually?
@DeltaScalper lots of different variables if you're not looking to get into kettle falls Ford you could set a timer and alternate hands every 5 or so reps and see if you could set a 5-minute limit and see how many you can get by alternating by fives then you could change those variables around later
What is the best hand position at the top to alleviate elbow strain? Open hand, 45 degree?
Grip and fingers relaxed. 45 degree hand insertion forearm flexors relaxed
Check my playlist on Snatch

@@kettlebellmusclegain haha... I’ll see how far I get
Muito bom, fã brasileiro aqui
Thank you to 🇧🇷! Would love to visit someday
Velcro!
Damn right
Is that tip similiar to “taming the arc”? And does keeping a slight bend in the arm while zippering the bell up help?
Sure can.
Do you think KB snatches build muscle?
Absolutley especially back shoulders and arms..heavy ones from the floor build it al. Double snatches work great.
Double kettlebell
What about it? Need help with double snatch?
Huh
Huh what?
@@kettlebellmusclegain I meant huh like 'oh yeah, never knew that and now it's clicked that's better!'
Ha cool.
Thank you for the tip!! 🙂
Very welcome
Very helpful. Thank you!
I'm glad it helps
Great tip - thanks! 👍
