The One-Arm Kettlebell Snatch primarily works the shoulders, with the calves, glutes, hamstrings, lower back, traps and triceps supporting the movement. It is a strength movement performed with kettlebells.
1 / 2How to
Movement instructions
Place a kettlebell between your feet. Bend your knees and push your butt back to get in the proper starting position.
Look straight ahead and swing the kettlebell back between your legs.
Immediately reverse the direction and drive through with your hips and knees, accelerating the kettlebell upward. As the kettlebell rises to your shoulder rotate your hand and punch straight up, using momentum to receive the weight locked out overhead.

Your progress
Keep the same kettlebells setup, range of motion and recording method when comparing One-Arm Kettlebell Snatch sessions.
Weight, repetitions and completed sets.
Example: 3 sets of 8 reps at 30 kg. Next time, record the actual result, even if it is the same.
Look for more repetitions at the same weight, or a heavier weight for comparable repetitions. Total weight lifted also changes when you add sets, so it is not a strength score.
