Adam T Glass is back at the Extreme Human Performance Center the other day here in White Bear Lake MN to work on some kettlebell snatch techniques.
Why the Kettlebell Snatch?
1) Great Conditioning (”Cardio”)
Since you are doing a ton of work in a short period of time (just like in the Kettlebell Clean and Jerk) it really gets you breathing hard fast. Great way to improve CRF (cardiorespiratory fitness)
2) Efficient
If you have ever done a kettlebell snatch you know that you can’t do them for a very long period of time. Even at the Elite level, the max competition time is 5 to 10 minutes.

Many good tips. Swing is lower part of snatch. All Russian coaches(Rudnev,Rachinskiy) teach that in backswing,your knees are straight as much you can and “frontswing” you bent your knees,because you loaded your thighs.When bell comes out of your knees,you “pop” your feet and using your feet power,not your hand power!
Rookie jerks whitout any rack position! Power is leaking if you dont have any launching base! Elbows to iliums or to stomach.
I find this kind of coaching-in-action video much more informative than those where the coach talks to the camera and explains how to do an exercise. Very useful, thanks.
Hi there Jake!
Sorry if this shows up multiple times, my computer is having an issue.
Yes, the rack position is important but wow, 3.5 years is a LONG time! The goal is still the most amount of reps in 10 min.
