I have nothing against cleaning w/dumbbells as opposed to a barbell but she doesn't have enough weight to do it right. the point of a clean is to generate force from your lower body to help get the weight up. The weight is so light that she can actually do the exact same thing w/o even using her legs, jsut her arms. And if that's the case either up the weight or the exercise is useless.
a clean and press with a barbell will engage all the same muscles, including lower back, and prevent the elbow swing shes doing on the clean which can cause rotator cuff injuries
