The Extended Kettlebell Snatch.

One of the greatest benefits of kettlebell training is the
plyo-metric training effect that occurs during drills such as
Kettlebell Snatches, Cleans, Swings and Jerks.

However, there are situations when training without the
plyo-metric effect is desirable.

For example, any sport or activity that requires explosive
power from a dead stop such as a football lineman, Volley Ball
and certain wrestling/grappling throws.

The Extended Kettlebell Snatch is an excellent alternative
to the more common Kettlebell Snatch variations.

Snatching from the floor without any preswing develops
power and speed from a dead stop.

Using a small box to extend your range of motion adda
even greater benefits to this already outstanding variation.
