How to do kettlebell double snatch

  1. Stand with your feet shoulder-width apart, holding a kettlebell in each hand at arm's length in front of your thighs.

  2. Bend your knees slightly and hinge forward at the hips, keeping your back flat and chest up.

  3. In one explosive motion, extend your hips, knees, and ankles, and simultaneously pull the kettlebells up towards your shoulders.

  4. As the kettlebells reach shoulder level, rotate your wrists and punch the kettlebells overhead, fully extending your arms.

  5. Lower the kettlebells back down to the starting position and repeat for the desired number of repetitions.
