Two-arm Dumbbell Clean and Press
Dallas Personal Trainer - Because this exercise requires a high degree of flexibility it will be uncommon to see a Dallas personal trainer utilizing it with a client. However, if a client has the flexibility, coordination, and core strength required this exercise can be a fantastic tool for increasing overall total body strength, coordination, and endurance (if performed for medium-high reps).
Place a two dumbbells on the floor between your feet and stand with your feet several inches outside shoulder width and your toes pointing slightly out. Squat down and bend forward while keeping your back straight. Grab one dumbbell in each hand and then in one rapid motion, squat up, jump, thrust your hips forward and throw the dumbbells (without letting go of them) up to your shoulder level. Land firmly, flat on your feet with the dumbbells sitting on the front of your shoulders.
Once the dumbbells are securely held at your shoulder level, press them upward using strength from your legs and your shoulders. As you press the dumbbells upward, rotate them so that your shoulders contract up and back fully at the top. Completely extend your elbows at the top and then lower the dumbbells back to your shoulders under the control of your shoulder muscles. Lower the dumbbells back to the floor by squatting down and leaning forward again with a straight back and repeat the process for the next rep.
