Ripping the hands in kettlebell snatch is one of the most common problems out there, but it only exists due to incomplete technique training. Most people learn how to get the KB up but never get coached on how to recycle the KB for another rep.
The same principle applies - weightless on the way up, weightless on the way down. Re-grip on the way up, re-grip on the way down.
If you throw the KB forward instead of letting it fall down of its own accord, you'll have to hand onto it, and won't have the chance to re-grip. Shift your body back and let the KB fall naturally, shift your grip on the handle while it's in free fall.
To catch the kg on your fingers, you must have finger strength. Most people practice swings with incorrect grip - holding the KB with a whole fist - which leads to ripping when the KB comes down into that grip from the extra height of a snatch.
Weakness in the fingers (hook grip relies on finger strength) leads to inability to hold a KB correctly in the hook grip. Improve finger strength by doing swings and carries in hook grip.
Action: start doing ALL your swings, hanging racks and carries with hook grip.
Example:
Day 1:
Kettlebell One Arm Swings in hook grip 5-10 sets of 5-10 reps
Day 2:
Snatch practice - re-grip with lighter weight
5 sets of 10-20 reps each side
Day 3
Farmers carries in hook grip 3-5 sets of 30-60 seconds
Day 4
Snatch practice again
Rest 48-72 hours between practices
Side note / rant:
Ripped Hands normally happen in Crossfit more than in any other discipline in history of sport/fitness because technique instruction is often a) minimal, b) done hastily, c) done without progression and d) done with one goal - to push heavier weights, induce competition and increase intensity as soon as possible. It isn't like ripped hands are a special form of injury in Crossfit however, ALL Crossfit injuries happen for the same reasons as above. This doesn't mean you shouldn't do Crossfit, but if you like that sort of training, to be aware and look for a good coach who won't sacrifice your body to your (and their) ego.

Hi Floyd, You would do overspeed essentrics from about 9-10 all the way to backswing. Between 12 and 10, you'll re-grip, then around 10-9 you'll push down. You need to re-grip before beginning the overspeed, because you can't drive the KB down without gripping it. So in overspeed essentrics the re-grip happens earlier.

Marvelous presentation! I love your pleasant demeanor. This may be the video that I've been looking for all week. I'm new to Kettlebells and am transitioning over to them from the traditional weightlifting and bodyweight exercises done in American Football and other sports. I started with a bell that was too heavy and recently purchased two Competition Style Kettlebells that are recommended for men beginning to train... I fell in love with the movements but overtrained quickly. I stopped short of ripping my protective palm callouses open, but I've overtaxed my grip after struggling with the catch portion of the clean, half-snatch, and full snatch. Jumping from the deep-insert position to catching the kettlebell with the fingers in a hook/C-grip is a massive challenge for me. Also, I have chronically sweaty hands with hyperhidrosis but I don't use lifting gloves because everything I saw dissuades the use of them for kettlebells. I've studied the kettlebell movements for years and played around with super lightweight "bells" from the local big-box store. They were too light for me to be punished for not having proper technique. I'm looking forward to getting better with this training modality. It's super fun!

Thank you, Busyrand! It's funny but I also have extra sweaty hands, it's been the bane of my existence since childhood! The struggle is real! It makes kettlebell and calisthenics training much harder for us but it also makes us develop a super strong grip. I use chalk when necessary (because it can be unsafe to swing a heavy bell with too much sweat on the handle). All the best in your Kettlebell training!

Hi Andy, sure. Check out Geoff Newpert's book Kettlebell Muscle. Hypertrophy training with any tool is pretty much the same. Alternate between low rep (4-6) and high rep (8-12) workouts, move through full range of motion, move with control, emphasize the essentric portion of the rep. It applies to kettlebells, dumbbells, barbells, bodyweight and anything else.

@KatsKettlebellDojo
@KatsKettlebellDojo Жыл бұрын
Hi Howard, Great question, and no, it isn't the best way to snatch because holding a Kettlebell with two hands overhead creates a potential for shoulder impingement in most people. It also doesn't allow the room for the KB to land on the forearm. There's a CrossFit version of that called the American Swing, which is okay, but it isn't a snatch. Hope this helps!

Oh those are challenging to use, if it's the ones I think of, the handles are too smooth and often the handle size isn't correctly proportioned. It's possible to train with them, but you'll need to use lighter KBs than what you would have done with regular cast iron.

Hi bamb00k, It sounds like you need to learn how to regrip using clean first. I would practice on a light kettlebell. One of the reasons people still tear their hands in clean and snatch is if you don't connect the arm to body before hinging back. If you hinge back too soon, the Kettlebell yanks on your grip and eventually you tear the hand. The habit of arm connection starts in the swing, and is transferred to clean and snatch. So, here's my advice: Practice connecting arm to body before you hinge back, during the swing. Then do the same during light clean. Then practice regripping. Once both skills are solid, go up in weight. Then, once you have mastered both the arm connection and the re-grip with a moderately heavy clean, begin to practice the half snatch. Here it is: kzfaq.info/get/bejne/i7eSZaRn1sm4h2w.html Then, after a few weeks of half snatch, gradually increasing weight, go to full snatch and go light again. Progression is key because skills build on each other. I don't know whether this is exactly your issue, hard to tell without looking at technique, but if it is, hope this helps.

To your question about getting a heavier Kettlebell: if you're a man, it's best to start with 12,16 and 20kg kettlebells. Mainly because you need to be able to easily deadlift 32kg (20+12) for 10 reps before you start practicing the swing. If you're a female, it's 8,12 and 16kg and deadlift of 24kg (16+8) before swinging. Afterwards, you'll progress in two hand swing weight, so that one arm Swing feel easy. Thank you for the great questions 🙌👍

Sounds like you're catching the bell too hard and in yanks on your hand, that's why something gets torn, even if it isn't the palm. Check your overall snatch recycling technique (not just the re-grip). It isn't enough to re-grip correctly, the overall technique and timing must be good too. If your recycling technique is already perfect yet your finger or palm still tears, a lack of grip strength might be the issue, or the fact that your kb is too heavy for your current level of strength. Have your snatch technique assessed by a coach, or video yourself and review, and it'll help yield more answers as to what's causing the tearing. It's very difficult to know otherwise because so many factors go into catching the bell correctly. I hope this helps, and when you find out, please share what it was here!

Hi Mikhail, Thank you for this comment! I'm sure many people experience this too but don't mention it. That can happen. Awareness (aka watching the video) is the first step, but alone it is often not enough. I would recommend using a lighter Kettlebell on your snatch while you master the new re-gripping technique (a heavier kettlebell can distract from what your body is doing, making you focus on 'survival'). Also, try to avoid snatching 'to failure' and instead stop immediately as soon as you feel that your technique begins to falter. Keep strengthening your grip with farmers walks and heavy swings, that takes a little while, like all strength, but it pays dividends over the long term. Also, take a look at your arm connection on the recycle phase (the downswing). Often if we hinge the hips too early (before the arm connects to the torso), the KB yanks on the hand. Make sure you connect the arm to torso before hinging (check one arm swing technique). Sometimes, when moving up to a heavier kb, we might get tender hands if we get over enthusiastic (keeping going even after technique is no longer sharp is a common culprit). But, rest assured, with committed practice, these things will happen less and less until you won't remember the last time your hands hurt from snatching.

@@KatsKettlebellDojo Hey Kat, That was such a detailed guide on the way forward. Thank you so much! I think my issues were 1. I was pushing to failure. Which compromised technique and concentration 2. I actually watched another video which as it turns out was promoting an inferior grip technique. Lesson learnt there. If it ain't broke, don't fix it! I shall keep your pointers in mind and make steady progress! Once again, thank you! :)
