Double 20kg Snatch

This was one of those "I wonder if I can do that" attempts. Just for fun I tried snatching double 20kg kettlebells. It was tough, especially since I am weighing around 122 right now. When I get better at these, I plan to add them into my double 20kg complexes.

Impressive!

Question: After the snatch, does it matter whether we next go to the rack position or move the kettlebell between the legs? I noticed that you prefer to move from the snatch to the rack position before moving the kettlebells between the legs. Thanks for your videos.

@cheneym14 If I snatch a single bell, or light double bells I will snatch them back down. If I snatch double 16s or heavier I will bring them to the rack. Heavy doubles have the tendency to pull you forward if you snatch them down, so it's just a slightly different technique for safety and efficiency.

You're right; the 20k double snatches are tough.  I did these today. I think they'll be great in a 20K complex.

@negf03 That's a good idea. Even Mike Mahler suggests doing this. All it takes is one mistake and it's knee replacement surgery so I always bring them back down to the rack when doing double snatches. Very strong and good technique by the way.

How much wider are your feet when working with the doubles as opposed to single KBs? Great strength.

When you do heavy snatch its safer to have control over the bells and go to rack position then letting them go the whole way.
