Alternating Dead Snatch

Dead snatches that switch hands every ground touch. The same all-out floor-to-overhead pull, alternating sides rep by rep.

The lesson

  1. 01

    Both feet stay planted

    Square to the bell for the whole set. The alternation happens at your hands, not by walking around it.

  2. 02

    Set it down dead

    Shoulder first, then floor, then release the handle completely.

  3. 03

    Swap with a settled bell

    Take the new grip only once the bell is still. Rushed swaps become a half-swing on a tired hand.
