dumbbell snatches?

[KillahBee]

what exactly are these?

 

[Scotsman]

It's like an olympic snatch but with a dumbell and one arm instead of a barbell and both arms. You start by hanging the dumbell between your legs. Then do a clean motion carrying through till lockout above your head in one motion.

forgive my ignorance, but, what is the exercise called when you are seated and have your arms to your side at a 90 degree angle and a dumbell hanging down, then you swing the DB up only moving from the elbow down? did I explain this well at all??

Yeah, those are dumbell cleans. B-Fold put up a good clip of him doing them a while back.

 

[KillahBee]

I thought that's what they were. thanks gentlemen.

I don't suppose you have the thread link.....

I don't suppose you have the thread link.....

sorry man, I don't. I know you're a non-plat too, so maybe a plat member can dig out the thread.

DB cleans good rotator exercise. I do them weekly. But you have to use light DBs. Youd be surprised how much those 5 or 10 lbers burn the hell outta your shoulder

hahhaha, he said snatch

question- at what speed is the movement performed, relatively speaking?

Yeah dumbell cleans or rotator cleans I have heard them called. I do a medium speed on them just so it is a nice smooth motion.

I saw Becca Swanson snatch an 85...then clean and press the 110 and the 130 or 135 pretty darn easily...one hand ONLY...ground to lockout and under control.

She was 239 when she did it. I am thinking she is near or around 250 now.
