Within the wold of Hardstyle kettlebell training, the Double Kettlebell Snatch (DBSN) reigns supreme for full-body explosiveness. Requiring high skill, precision, and mental toughness, the DBSN offers direct power and power endurance benefits.
Mastering the DBSN as a part of MED Kettlebell Chains, MED Kettlebell Chains Reloaded (coming soon), or as a standalone exercise, delivers a potent conditioning effect: improving aerobic, glycolytic, and anaerobic thresholds.
The DBSN is also safe in its execution; relying on a powerful concentric action of the bells, then a safe lowering to the rack before subsequent repetitions. And because the movement is concentric-focused, the DBSN doesn’t overly tax the body.
In this article, I will focus on the progressions for learning the DBSN, warming up for the DBSN, and how to program the DBSN into your current training.
