• Using a swing style snatch, either single or double bell, assume the start position.

• Execute the snatch at the same time as stepping forward one step on each foot in order to cover distance.

• Return the bell and continue

• *A favourite of mine is to cover distance around an athletics track. This can also be done with the swing and the clean.

• With one kettlebell, assume the start position for a regular one arm snatch

• As you explode into the one arm snatch, lunge forward with the opposite leg from the arm you are snatching.

• The foot should make hard contact with the ground, slightly before the arm reaches lockout.

• Upon the downward return of the kettlebell, simply step back into the start position.

• Sitting on the end of a bench or hard stool, sit in a conventional start snatch position.
• Grip the bell hellishly hard and tear it from its position to a lockout overhead.
• Lower to the shoulder, via a reverse pressing motion and return to the start position.
