How do you perform a Single Arm Snatch?
- Start standing with your feet shoulder-width apart and your toes pointing slightly outward.
- Place a weight on the floor between your feet.
- It can be a kettlebell, dumbbell or something else.
- Pull the weight up with a firm jerk while first keeping your elbow as high as possible.
- When the weight reaches about chest height, extend your arm above your head.
- Use the pull to lift the weight above your head.
- Slowly lower the weight between your feet while keeping your arm straight and your shoulders back.
Common faults
- Elbow not raised high enough in the beginning of the pull.
- The weight does not follow a straight path from ground to overhead.
- Weight does not end vertically overhead.
- Back not flat.
