IKSFA International Kettlebell Sport & Fitness Academy

Resting in any type of rack position during snatch is prohibited. This includes resting the kettlebell on the shoulder or performing a half snatch (dropping to rack instead of a full swing down). Dropping to rack constitutes a violation — same 3-warning disqualification rule applies.
