Dumbbell Snatch

The dumbbell power snatch is less technical than its barbell counterpart but relies on many of the same principles. The hips and legs should generate the majority of the upward force and momentum on the dumbbell. The working arm should remain straight until the hips have extended. The overhead position demands balance and coordination to stabilize the dumbbell. Like everything in CrossFit, the dumbbell snatch is infinitely scalable and is simply picking an object up from the ground and lifting it overhead.
