yeah that is very important. the snatch is prety much the final normal exersice of the kettelbell. if you cant clean you cant snatch and If you cant swing you cant clean.
This is an excellent breakdown of the techniques that need to be mastered before you start snatching. I forget all the tools I had to use to get me to snatching my 53kgs. I recently spent nine months teaching a very out of shape coworker to snatch. I had to revisit all these movements and build them up slowly. Props to Silverback as well that moment when the kettlebell is weightless and ready to be moved over head is easier to learn if you spend a few weeks doing some high pulls! Great video again!
Half snatches might be a way forward for some people. Also, over the years, I've come to see that snatch technique can be quite individual. Mine is influenced by Steve Cotter's and I can go high reps injury free - it works for me. Lastly, it's a technical lift, one to be practised with intention rather than just 'done'.
I see your snatches and I raise you swings. I’m so weak and unbalanced that my body can’t even tolerate swings, knees too weak for power moves. Have had to regress even further to purely grinds. Am doing single leg deadlifts and one arm rows, to good effect
Be aware though. Doing Turkish Getups with bad shoulder mobility could still result in a bad rotator cuff injury. Work on your mobility and flexibility if you cant reach both arms overhead before doing a weighted TGU.
@pederhindborg1072 - Yes, it can, but you can also use a lighter weight TGUs for reflexive feedback, to speed up the mobility acquisition process. Of course it's "case dependent."
But if kettlebell snatches give you golfer's/tennis elbow, why do them anyway? I understand doing swings, cleans and the other exercises to strengthen the body first before snatches. But I heard nothing on how to prevent those elbow conditions.
@powskier - Kettlebell Snatches have never given ME golfer's/tennis elbow. How to prevent those conditions is a whole 'nother topic. Frankly, most people probably wouldn't be interested in them because they'd think, "That'd never happen to me..."
Basic common sense, nobody can start off as a beginner doing snatches. If you need to be told that you have to master the less complex fundamentals that lead up to the snatch, then you have other problems.

Whoops😊
53lbs I meant

@alexg4284 - Yup. Slow before fast. Strength before power. Take your time, build your strength.
I like how you pepper your information with your brand of dry/wry wit & humour!😄😄
@shantanusapru - Thanks!
Thanks Geoff, this is great stuff!
@sublyme2157 - Glad you like it.
Overhead carries could replace tgus for mo-stab ?

good video buddy. subscribed
I love Snatches, but at my age (62) High Pulls seem like a more beneficial choice.
Good call on the high pulls brother. They were a useful progression for me and for a couple people I’ve taught to snatch as well.
@silverbackgorilla2112 - They can be. It depends on your "mileage." The Snatch can actually be very restorative.

@Chiburi - Common sense is not so common these days.
Nah,,, I Am Not Feelin That Snatch, Bruh. 💯
@shaolinzendragon4737 - Definitely not for everybody. And DEFINITELY have to work into it.
