The Kettlebell Double Snatch is a compound exercise that targets the shoulders, back, and core muscles. It involves swinging two kettlebells overhead in a fluid, explosive motion.
How to perform
Step-by-step instructions:1. Begin with two kettlebells on the ground in front of you. Stand with your feet shoulder-width apart and hinge at the hips to grasp the handles of the kettlebells.
2. Engage your core and drive through your heels to swing the kettlebells between your legs. Keep your back straight and chest up throughout the movement.
3. Use the momentum from your hips to explosively swing the kettlebells overhead. As they reach the top of the movement, lock out your arms and shrug your shoulders to generate maximum power.
4. Lower the kettlebells back down between your legs and repeat the movement for the desired number of reps.
5. Remember to maintain proper form throughout the exercise, keeping your core engaged and avoiding excessive arching of the lower back.
6. Be sure to start with a light weight to practice proper technique before increasing the load. And as always, consult with a fitness professional if you have any concerns or questions about incorporating this exercise into your routine.
