Dumbbell Clean

Coaching cues

• Stand with your feet shoulder-width apart, holding a dumbbell in each hand with an overhand grip.
• Bend your knees and lower your hips into a squat position, keeping your back straight and chest up.
• Explosively extend your hips and knees, driving through your heels to jump off the ground.
• As you jump, shrug your shoulders and pull the dumbbells up towards your shoulders, keeping them close to your body.
• Catch the dumbbells at shoulder height, with your elbows pointing forward and your palms facing up.
• Lower the dumbbells back down to the starting position by reversing the movement.
• Repeat for the desired number of repetitions.
