TECHNIQUE: Starting from the hang position of the clean, maintain a neutral forearm and shoulder. Drive through your hips to full extension and shrug your shoulders. Land the momentum with the dumbbell in the front rack and feet in a lunge position. As you stand from the lunge, press the weight up overhead with vertical forearm. ADVANTAGES: This exercise works strength, stability, and power. Multiple muscles are utilized to drive momentum and balance during the movement. FAULTS: Common faults are starting with a bent arm, hips do not reach full extension before the shrug resulting in a curl. Weight in the toes rather than the heels. Lack of core engagement in the landing will show instability and shifting at the bottom of the lunge. SCALING: Movement can be scaled to a dumbbell clean and press that is less challenging. The exercise can progressed into a db split snatch.
