Explosive Exercises: Dumbbell Snatch & Split Jerk

[AMPepin1992]

6 people hit themselves in the face doing the snatch.

Regarding the bicep work in the background, trust me, strong biceps help a lot in "wrapping up" and hanging on to a strong running back.

As a former Div. I football scholarship player (UCF) and a guy who has done cross fit for over a year I think the strength and conditioning coach's technique is near perfect....great video Lee.

He is jumping and making negative presses for 'snatches'

[fnchdrms87]

i love that there is someone doing bicep curls in the background of this video. For what particular sport would bicep curls be good training for, besides body building?

[christurkthebrave]

Great video Lee, can you tell me what muscles the dumbbell snatch works?

[Chaaarge]

another one that the olympic weightlifters do is the push-press

[sleazebee]

split jerk huh huh

[13AlbinoRhinos]

if you didn't know, i was talking about lee.haha, i don't know anything about the jason dude, but if lee hayward uses him in his videos, then he must know what he's talking about.

[13AlbinoRhinos]

i'm pretty sure that a 240 pound body building competitor that deadlifts and squats more than twice his body weight knows a little about lifting weights. Criticize all you want, but his body tells no lie.

[khlisson]

Does he take any precautions with respect to proper posture with these explosive exercises?

[BIGPHIL95]

we did this at a velocity camp over summer thats cool

[jaydub1969]

Nope, not cleans at all. The weight goes straight overhead, not pausing at the shoulder.

[funkrock27]

lol its a clean

[chapnasty]

You can tell these things work, that dude is looks all cut up

[FUN144]

Great exercises great for core, strength, power. He's using so many muscle groups that you need a lot of oxygen to keep going so fantastic for stamina also..

Excellent video!!

[silentninja32]

power cleans?

[goldenshots]

ya looks like a dumbell powerclean the first one

[slcdirector]

It's far more efffective for strength gains to use a barbell IMHO!

[ianhudon]

Thanks for the unique exercises Lee , Keep those coming

[jfleet11]

How many reps per set Lee?

[kozes]

i think you should be doing as many as you can.. if you can get 15+ reps, you should up the weight. unless you are wanting to for a higher rep in that set. i would suggest 3-5 sets. if you only get 5 reps and you wanted 10, just lower the weight.

[leemhayward]

You are better off doing multiple sets of lower reps for this kind of explosive training. To start off you could do 5 sets of 5 reps.

[KANETREADWELL]

Low reps high weight for increased mass.

High reps low weight for high metabolism and muscle toning.

[HeroesofGrammar]

Some interesting plyometrics.

[googlefloobers]

[kmegrou59]
