Dumbbell Clean
Dallas Personal Trainer - Not the most common exercise that will be used by an average Dallas Personal Trainer. If your trainer is athletically inclined, or you goals have to do with sports performance at all, your odds of performing this exercise will be greater as it is often used for increasing total body explosiveness for sports.
This exercise will be performed separately with each hand. Perform all required reps with one hand and then immediately switch to the other hand and perform all required reps with that hand as well.
Place a dumbbell on the floor between your feet and stand with your feet several inches outside shoulder width, with your toes pointing slightly out. Squat down and lean forward without rounding your back, grab the dumbbell with one hand, stick your other arm out to the side away from your leg, and keep you head up. In one rapid motion, squat up, jump, thrust your hips forward and throw the dumbbell (without letting go of it) up to your shoulder. Land firmly on your feet with your heels planted solidly on the ground and with the dumbbell sitting on the front of your shoulder. Lower the dumbbell to waist level and then back to the floor by squatting down and leaning forward again with a straight back.
