One Arm Kettlebell Snatch
A dynamic full-body exercise primarily targeting the shoulders, back, and glutes.
Instructions
- Stand with feet shoulder-width apart, with a kettlebell on the floor between your feet.
- Bend at your hips and knees to lift the kettlebell to shoulder height using one hand, palm facing forward.
- Push through your heels and thrust your hips forward to generate momentum.
- Lift the kettlebell overhead in one motion, locking out your elbow at the top.
- Lower the kettlebell back to shoulder height and then to starting position.
Common Mistakes to Avoid
- Not thrusting the hips effectively, leading to inadequate momentum.
- Failing to lock the elbow overhead, risking shoulder injuries.
- Using the back instead of the legs and hips to lift the kettlebell.
- Holding the breath throughout the movement.
