How To Practice A Perfect Kettlebell Snatch?

Posted on November 16, 2011 by

The kettlebell snatch is one of the best options of exercise practiced in the present time. However, it is very important that one should learn and practice the proper methods of practicing the kettlebell snatch under a professional trainer to avoid injuries.

This method of kettlebell snatch can be broken down into three different steps to get a better idea of the whole method. The three main steps are:

1. The Lockout

The process is started in a sumo dead lift position with the kettlebell held between the legs. The next step is to curl up the bell and pull it up to the shoulders pressing it up above the head. This will make the person practicing comfortable with what is known as the overhead lockout position.

Care should be taken that the bicep should be close to the ear. Commonly a mistake committed while practicing this is to hold the kettlebell slightly inclined in front of the body. Firm and proper shoulder mobility is needed to practice a kettlebell snatch.

The lockout position can be more comfortably practiced with the help of a drill which will act as a self correcting means. This drill includes walking round the room with the kettlebell over the head. But care has to be taken that the kettlebell is not moved from the position and elbows should be straight.

2. The Downswing

To begin with the downswing phase of the kettlebell snatch it is necessary to learn to bring the kettle bell down by closing the distance from the elbow to the rib cage in a fast pace. Here the arc of the kettlebell snatch should be nearer to the body than the arc of the swing. Another practice to be done is to throw the kettlebell through the belly.

3. The Upswing

This is the last step to practice the complete kettlebell snatch. It is to be started keeping the kettlebell a foot in front. The move is started with a hike pass of the weight similar to the swing but instead of swinging the weight up to shoulder height it is taken straight over the head with the movement into a kettlebell snatch.

Here Is A Video To Better Show Kettlell Snatch

Points to remember:

Some drills to ease out the progress are:
· One-hand swings practiced thrice.

· Practicing three high pulls. Effort should be made to place the kettle bell above the head by pulling the elbow back and snapping the hips at the same time.

· Practicing the three snatches with the bell above the head during the high pull, and then getting our hand round the kettle bell to complete the snatch.

Kettlebell snatch is the most important exercise which the novice should practice and master in before moving on to any higher level exercise performed with a kettlebell. The reason is that learning the perfect kettlebell snatch will enable a beginner to get acquinted with the powerful hip drives that punches the kettlebell forward. In addition to this the kettlebell snatch exercise also provides various health benefits life facilitating weight loss for the overweight at the same time improving the strength and the fitness of the body.

The kettlebell exercise routine is an alternative exercise to the dumbbell; however, it offers a unique form of workout base on how it is shaped.  The kettlebell is described as a cannon or a bowling ball, except that it has a handle.  The different shape of the kettlebell and the centre or gravity gives you a more traditional form of workout than the basic dumbbells that we are used to.

Kettlebell basics

With the kettlebell exercise routine, one of the most basic exercises is the swing that is done with you holding your feet, shoulder width apart and you holding the kettlebell in both of your hands.  Next you will need to squat and push your glutes out, while bending your knees, making your thighs parallel to the floor.

After you have assumed this position, you will then need to lengthen your back then swing out the kettlebell to the front of your shoulders while standing up.  As the kettelbell is coming back down, you will need to stoop into a squat once more and allow the kettelbell to swing in between your legs. This basic kettlebell routine is often times used as a starting out exercise or a small part to more complex routine. It is recommended that you try doing ten of these exercises at first.

The kettlebells can also be used to do simple deadlifts.  This exercise can be done by you starting in the same position that was mentioned before.  The kettlebell will be between your feet while you are on the floor but at this point, your arms will be extended, while gripping the kettlebells.  You will then need to stand upright with your arms extended allowing the kettlebell to reach to your hips.  This step should also be repeated for ten times.

There are numerous other kettlebell exercises for women; however, if you are just starting out you might want to stick to the basics.

How To Kettlebell Swing

Posted on April 14, 2011 by

Kettlebell swing training will help to prepare the body to stand up to the stress of physical and sporting disciplines such as karate, in addition to producing strength from the core muscles in the body. You can increase the strength of your thigh, back and hip muscles with this exercise. This training will also help the body to absorb physical impact, instead of being weighed down by it. Lung capacity, endurance and flexibility can be improved with the exercise as well. Learn how to kettlebell swing.

First, you need to stand upright with your legs apart at shoulder width. Then, lean forward slightly at your waist and then bend your knees to enter a semi-squat position. Ensure that your back is curved with your head facing steadily towards the front.

Try the lighter weight weights in the beginning. Let your arms hang freely and use both hands to lift the weight above your head while inhaling. After that, use both hands to swing the weight back between your legs while exhaling. You can move the weight with powerful thrusts from your lower back, hip and thigh muscles.

You should complete five to ten sets with twenty to fifty repetitions of kettlebell swings, while pausing one minute between the sets. With the heavier weights, you can inhale while swinging between your legs and then exhale while lifting over your head.

If you want to improve your golf swing, you can add kettlebell swing training to your exercise regimen. You can use your right hand to hold a light-weight kettlebell and place your left hand over it to steady the grip.
Ensure that your arms are straight, lock your elbows and then swing the weight from right to left. This movement should be powered from your hip muscles. You should move your knees in the direction of your swing.

Slightly lift your heels and gradually lean in front at the waist with your head up whilst carrying out this move. While lowering the weight to the ground, you should swing slowly until it is sweeping close to your ankles and then swing again while lifting. You can do perform ten to twenty repetitions in three to five sets.

In general, kettlebell swing training will act as a fat burner and fantastic conditioner for the body. Increasingly more studies are showing that fat burning will occur whenever training is carried out at higher intensity levels instead of long slow strength training. You can add these swing movements gradually to your exercise program to get lean, fit and remain healthy.
