The kettlebell snatch or the dumbbell snatch. Which is better?

Neither, it turns out. They are both great variations of a great exercise. All else equal, the best thing to do is to learn and develop skill in both movements and use each at different points in your training program to get the benefits of each variation.

But there are some important differences between the two movements and understanding these differences can help us decide which variation is better for which purpose. Watch the video to learn how to get the most out of each variation.

About me: I’m a Strength Coach and Personal Trainer, and I love my job. I have degrees in Kinesiology and Exercise Physiology, and have been helping people get stronger and move better fulltime since 2009. Through working with all kinds of different people ranging from elite basketball athletes to active seniors, I’ve learned that the “secret” to effective training is to take a longterm approach. The day you stop training is the day you stop improving, so training programs must be structured in a way that keeps our joints healthy and mind engaged while we build a strong and powerful body. Through sharing information and training tips here, I hope to help more people train for the rest of their lives.
