Stevo in Explosive, dumbbell
The dumbbell snatch, and its more prestigious sisters the kettlebell snatch and the Olympic snatch, is a full body, explosive exercise that will train power in your lower body and utterly exhaust you. If you want to jump higher, snatch. If you want to run faster, snatch. If you want to thrust harder, well you get the idea. The key to this movement is that it is not a squat or a press. You are sticking your you butt back and leaping. Your heels will pop off the floor and the weight will fly up.
Coach Stevo's Top Tips
Push your butt back and barely dip your knees.
Don't tense up; stay loose.
Load the hamstrings.
Jump and drop under the weight as it flys.
Pack your shoulder.
Lock your elbow.
