Honestly think this is the best explanation of KB snatches I've found on YT and I've watched a lot as I find it difficult to get the synchronisation correct. Thanks man, much appreciated.

Mark, you're the first person I've ever watched that talks about how you can take the snatch halfway up, a little bit higher, or all the way. You and Steve Cotter be da men! Keep it up man!

I’m 3:57 in and I have already learned why I’ve been chewing my hands up for the last few years when doing these! The pinky information alone is gold! Thank you sir! Finishing up watching now.

I just started kettlebell training for the last month or so. Your videos are incredibly helpful for me. Sometimes, before I even do the exercise, I watch your video on it just to make sure I have the movement right. Thanks Wildman. You're the best.

Excellent explanation of a complicated lift.

[jaycohen]

Excellent instructions for mastering kettlebell snatch 🎯💥🤝🤙

[egeatilla]

Started working out to Steve Cotter's workouts a few months ago. Went on youtube to make sure I'm doing everything right and you are providing the most clear and concise explanations for the moves for a beginner like me, thanks a bunch.

[Iron-Bridge]

Your channel is the best and most effective explanation for kettlebell technique across the Internet for me. And I've searched a lot of places. Especially since I've just bought my first kettlebell and need zero bull straightforward instruction.

I’ve been following you early July and I started with 8 kg kettlebell swings first. Now in September I snatch 20 kg kettlebells! Thank you!!

[philipgarrey]

Mark, you are a good kettlebell instructor especially hardstyle version.This is one of the best hardstyle version of the snatch. Simple and direct instructions to follow that leads to desired goals.

[cshirle]

Incredible instruction. Thank you! Having said that, I think this is one of the few videos out there that could benefit from vertical shooting.

[rodbrakes]

Brilliant explanations. So much detail in 11 minutes. Watched this at home. Will practice tomorrow in the gym and then probably come back when i screw it up. Thanks for sharing.

[mtbcyclist]

#1 guy on youtube for kettlebell. Like the detail especially about the rotation around the wrist at the top of the snatch so you don't smack your wrist with the kettlebell which I was doing.

[rudycanda]

I have been afraid of doing kettlebell snatches since i started my kettlebell workouts a month ago but the progressions here have helped me a lot. The wrist banging I was afraid of wasn't even that bad thanks to all the info in this video.
