Remembering doing the” snatch” and “clean and jerk”, in which you lift the barbell off the floor to an overhead position, you needed to develop flexibility and have joint and muscle development to perform this exercise. Now there is a different way to do this exercise with a set dumbbells. You start with the dumbbells held at your sides, then the first movement is up on your toes while shrugging the shoulders and lifting the dumbbells upwards. At the top of this movement, your elbows should point to the ground and dumbbells should be upright at the shoulders. As you raise the dumbbells up to the shoulder, you will rapidly duck under them by squatting down.
Go as low as you feel comfortable with, than thrust the dumbbells overhead as you stand and push up straight, than return the dumbbells to the starting position. You will have worked out your legs, butt, shoulders,and arms in this compound exercise, and the perfect piece of equipment to use for this exercise is the PowerBlock Personal Trainer Adjustable 2.5-50 Lbs Dumbbell Set, because it allows you to increase the weight with just a quick insertion of the selector pin as you progress in strength.
