Excellent and RKC hardstyle aligned. Thank you for sharing. Finally someone who performs this advanced VWC movement correctly, like I was taught by Pavel and even StrongFirst wasn't 100%. I love this 3 stage rocket movement for VO2 max.
Your ability to articulate and impart the information on this video is off the charts. Beyond me getting in the gym and applying your technique I'm still marveling over the talent you have to teach! Suddenly today I just found out about your channel and will be diving in to your entire collection of videos God bless!
Is this a total different style to many other videos as I see the grip is totally different, as not diagonal across the palm, also bell swings over the hand at the top and not around the wrist on the way up?
I love your videos! I'm getting into kettlebells now and the techniques of everything and I have a question. You advise on keeping the bell as close to the face and body as possible, but today for example I was watching Denis Vasilev's video (Kettlebell Sport Snatch introduction by Denis Vasilev_Episode 1) and at 10:20 he's showing the so called "acceleration pull" where he kind of gets quite away from the kettlebell. Why are those two recommendations so different or maybe I'm getting it wrong?
Appreciate you watching! What you are referencing is a kettlebell sport technique. The intent is different and not something I have the experience to comment on.
Absolutely! The kettlebell snatch is an explosive ballistic that will train power while the Turkish get up will train slow strength/balance. Think of them as yin/yang. Hope this helps! :)
The snatch is not a high swing with a lockout... The snatch is a snatch. Try to carry over the Olympic weightlifting tecunique if you want to actually snatch, not high swing. Out of the many RU-vid videos I've watched on the topic you're actually performing it very close to what a snatch should be, but you're teaching it as a high swing at the start which is confusing. At 9:25 when you actually do the snatch it looks good with a fairly vertical bell path. Good video, I've just seen too many people teach high swings as snatches.
You can snatch like that and you will have pretty good effect for sure. However he is demonstrating a specific technique. The "olympic" snatch is awesome for dumbbells and some sport kettlebell lifters use it as well. Sport kettlebell snatch is a completely different story.
