Exercise: Double Kettlebell Hip Hinge Half Snatch
Description:
I’ve made it with the side views.
The impression that I’ve have when I see the video is that I have to accentuate the contraction of my interscapular zone when I’m in rack. Is that true ?

- Resolved Not pulling long enough (snatch) Double Kettlebell Hip Hinge Half Snatch (Severe (3/4))
If you are resting, then you can relax everything around the scapula. If you are squatting and the shoulders need to take weight, then you do, if you are pulling, like during the snatch, then you do.
If you pause around 12 seconds in, you see the elbows bent while you are still pulling. You need to make sure that this doesn’t affect your tendons around the elbows. You can also lean back more, around this time you can also see you are still leaning forward while the pull ended, you could get more of a pull if the shoulders were back and arms straight, however, with the grip you employ, this may not be advisable. You are kind of using a Hardstyle approach but with a sportstyle grip, i.e. the handle is vertical, this is okay for a pendulum movement.
