How to do it

  1. 01

    Place a kettlebell between your feet. Bend your knees and push your butt back to get in the proper starting position.

  2. 02

    Look straight ahead and swing the kettlebell back between your legs.

  3. 03

    Immediately reverse the direction and drive through with your hips and knees, accelerating the kettlebell upward. As the kettlebell rises to your shoulder rotate your hand and punch straight up, using momentum to receive the weight locked out overhead.

In the app

One-Arm Kettlebell Snatch appears when you own a kettlebell and the day's window has room for it. Loads come from Rule 3 (Loads rise when earned, read from RPE, graded strong) and climb on the reps you actually did.

If a machine is taken the engine swaps a same-pattern movement and says why.

If you don't have a kettlebell

Same movement pattern, same primary muscles — swap by what you have.
