Kettlebell Exercises to Kick Butt #14: Single-Arm Kettlebell Snatch

The Barbell Snatch is a popular exercise among bodybuilders, but using the kettlebell adds an element of challenge to your core. The Single-Arm Kettlebell Snatch works out your shoulders, back, chest, arms, and core, and it's an awesome upper body workout that you can't help but love. Note: This is a ballistic movement that can lead to injuries if you're not careful. It's a fairly advanced exercise, so make sure to keep that form tight.   [caption id="" align="aligncenter" width="564"] Source: www.fitbie.com[/caption]

Single-Arm Kettlebell Snatch

Stand with your feet spread shoulder width apart, your knees slightly bent. Grip the kettlebell in your right hand, letting it hang down between your knees. Your first movement should be explosive, lifting up on to your toes as you bring the weight up to your chest, elbow tucked in. Then, lift the weight high over your head. (Grip it firmly so that you don't accidentally launch it!) Hold the weight at the peak of the movement for a one-count, then bring it back down to its starting position between your knees. Reps as desired
