Kettlebell Snatch (Double)

How to do it

  1. Stand with feet shoulder-width apart and a kettlebell on the floor between the feet, one per hand.
  2. Hinge the hips back to grip both handles, keeping the back flat and the kettlebells close to the shins.
  3. Drive the hips forward explosively to extend the knees and hips, accelerating both kettlebells upward.
  4. Pull the kettlebells close to the body with bent elbows, then punch both arms straight overhead as they pass shoulder height.
  5. Receive the kettlebells locked out overhead with the wrists stacked over the shoulders and knees slightly bent.
  6. Lower both kettlebells back to the floor along the same path under control before the next repetition.
