The kettlebell snatch can be performed from the dead position or from a swing, called a circular snatch. The snatch is a full explosion of hip strength combined with deep bracing in the core to drive a weight from the ground to overhead in one movement. Make sure that before you practice this kettlebell lift you have already practiced and perfected the deadlift and the kettlebell swing. As you swing the kettlebell upward, shrug the shoulder backward, this pulls the bell closer to your body, making it feel lighter when it reaches the punch point. Shrugging your shoulder backward as opposed to upward is the magic ingredient when it comes to snatching safely. Also make sure to align the kettlebell and torso over your hips when the bell is overhead. As the bell reaches waist height it begins to float upward, you punch through the bell just over shoulder height. Move your hand around the bell instead of letting the bell move around your hand. Also remember to control the drop and decelerate the weight in your hips when bringing your snatch back down. You will want to tame the arc the same way on the way down as you did on the way up. Practice the kettlebell snatch until you get it right. The snatch is the pinnacle of power and technique and probably the most mentally nd physically rewarding lift you will ever do.
