How to do a dumbbell snatch

  1. Stand over the dumbbell with feet shoulder width apart.
  2. Hinge down and grip it with your right hand, back flat.
  3. Drive through your hips and pull the dumbbell up close to your body.
  4. Punch it overhead in one motion, catching it with a locked elbow.
  5. Lower the dumbbell back to the floor and repeat, switching hands as programmed.

Form tips

  • The dumbbell travels in a straight line close to your torso.
  • Power comes from the hips, the arm just guides.
  • Stand fully tall at lockout before lowering.
