Double Kettlebell Snatch

What it is

This is a powerful, full-body compound movement that requires significant coordination and strength. You'll explosively pull two kettlebells from the floor to an overhead lockout position. It primarily targets your shoulders, while also engaging your glutes, hamstrings, and quadriceps.

Technique tips

• Start with kettlebells slightly behind your feet.
• Maintain a flat back as you hinge and pick up the weights.
• Explode through your hips to generate powerful momentum.
• Allow the kettlebells to swing naturally between your legs.
• Finish with arms locked straight overhead, biceps by ears.
• Brace your core forcefully throughout the entire movement.

How to track your progress

Log the weight and reps of each set. Straddly turns every set into an estimated one-rep max, so a heavier single and a strong set of eight both count as progress, and it flags a personal record the moment you beat your best.
