This is the clearest explanation I've seen. Thank you.

Thank you for the elbow drop cue I focus on my hand turning to much in the drop and this helped to connect to my body better.

Great video. I've just ordered a 32kg competition kettlebell and think I'll switch reps between hard and competition for the best of both worlds 🙂

Just started doing the kettlebells a month ago. Could not understand why different people do snatch in different manner. You cleared this out, thank you a lot!

[paulcalatayud]

Thanks for your precisions.
I ever wondered in what the difference did consist...

[BaroudeurAventure]

Basically hardstyle is using muscular strength where "softstyle" is using biomechanic to optimize the effort. When running out of energy or reaching our weight limit softstyle becomes a necessity to fulfill the moves. In my opinion softstyle is more suitable and beneficial for real life application, hardstyle is good to pass your nerves. In my experience when I start to go hardstyle it's time to work with a heavier kettlebell, then I do hardstyle to warm up with the light one and go for softstyle with the heavier one.

I'm a hard style kind of guy! Stay hard RA!

[carlosh]

Double snatches have hardstyle or sport too?

[ShotgunGuenni]

Thanks a lot man!
Isn’t there also a slight difference in how you grip the bell/window in both styles ?

I read that with hardstyle you’re not supposed to use the corner grip but rather closed hands in the middle or is that wrong ?

[rodneymcintyre]

Does the kb snatch build muscle or is it more like cardio?

[dominis...]

every other snatch video says not to have the flat part of the bell pointed upwards 1:56. you'll damage your wrists.

[rickprocure]

I smash my wrist when i try to do this, i cant figure out how to do it proper

[ManwithNoName-to]

how about neither?
do real exercises not kettlebell nonsense

[TPSOTT]

Nothing is "hardstyle" about a kettlebell you never hike.
