    20 Kettlebell Snatch 24/16kg
    10 Weighted Step Overs* 24/16kg 24/20″

    * Hold your Kettlebell anyway that you like and travel from one side of the box to the other.

    Scaling 

    3-5 Rounds for Time

    20 Kettlebell Snatch
    10 High Box Step Overs

    Spend some time working on Kettlebell snatch form before you abandon it and go with a dumbbell.  Find a weight that allows you to properly rotate and punch up.  If you are finding that you need to “press” out at the end of the lift, or the bell is smacking your wrist you may have gone to heavy. 10 in a row on one arm should be doable when you are fresh.
