Dumbbell Snatch

[chartizzle]

Should be from a step on the floor, not the pocket

[swagger3898]

Why is it one arm specifically

[Holdyen]

She is trying to get strong enough to lift my nuts

[BlueBlazer89]

@Holdyen damn i feel sorry for you then

[Bissen]

YES! A snatch as it should be performed! Way too many do a semi-swing or even a clean-press-ish something. Way to go - looks great!

[GoekhanC]

Which muscle groups is the DB Snatch targeting?

[wtfudimbo]

um, I seriously doubt that is 60lbs. There is a video of a Female powerlifter Kara Bohigian snatching 60lbs for 1 rep. Didn't look like she had much in her either. I'm sorry but I have a hard time buying this video. If its really 60lbs mad props to you though.

- A person who knows a thing or two about lifting.

[pickerslasvegas]

@wtfudimbo Take a closer look at the vid and you can see clearly it is a 60lbs (27.5kgs) dumbbell

[o0ooloo0o]

can i do this with an adopted chinese baby (female)

[mesmeriffic]

lol wut

[P4T1L33]

do you switch which hand holds the dumbell? does it matter?

[AtrumExcessum]

@P4T1L33 Yes, you do equal reps with each hand.

[hipoxantha]

Really? I've done this today with the same weight! It's a great news!

[taylorrox122]

can u do this with a barbell

[Nightmareske]

i wouldn't mind standing directly behind her as she does that

[hairypitsarouseme]

@Nightmareske  Why?

[tddraper52]

oh i love a woman who can lift she can get it

[AndyHarglesis]

@tddraper52 Sexist.

[tddraper52]

@AndyHarglesis how is that sexist? i just simply said i love a woman who can lift. i didn't say anything negative or demeaning about the female gender.

[AndyHarglesis]

@tddraper52 "she can get it."

Get what?

Your two inch penis?

[tddraper52]

@AndyHarglesis Hell yes. she can take this short stick all night long

[AndyHarglesis]

@tddraper52 You'll probably hear something along the lines of this when you unzip...

"Where is it? What is that.... lol"

[bigt2435253]

This exercise is pretty easy-I really don't know what it did for me after doing it for a year.  If you want to improve hip power, you're better off squatting and deadlifting

[chester1080]

you obviously were not consistent, or the form was not good... or or or ...

I have progressed to 100 lbs any hand, 120 lbs rhs only, ground-up and not hang.

The effect on training the core, legs,arms, shoulder and the training for overall snatch/ "jerk strength" cannot be overestimated.

This is a "T-REX" class of workouts.

[utubeaccount00]

seriously if you think this exercise isn't 'doing' anything then you're doing it wrong

[ironmanstarks36]

@chester1080 anyone can do a 120lb snatch over the internet... put up a video or shut up

[bullybobthornton]

So, squat and deadlift improve EXPLOSIVE strength in the hips? Interesting.

Explosive movements like this are far superior to squats and deadlifts for most sports.

[ubertoss2000]

or use more weight. next time

[luminescentfeeling]

Hey Nice Snatch! (I've always wanted to say that).

Seriously though, this person must be strong. I'd need Scaffolding to do that, and would knock myself out on the first attempt.

Well done, and keep it up!

[rottweilerdog08]

ha ha, ur hilarious!

[chester1080]

Well appreciated. To mess with her is to invite dire consequences. At 60 lbs snatch, she would kick most guys ass. Into the high heavens.

Or Into kindergarten.

I would respect such strength. And I do much more.

[hardtrain]

Well done, good tech.

[USMCM1A1]

I think that looks good. The weight travels straight up and down, there is a real jerk/explosion at the start of the lift to generate power, and she gets her butt down and gets under the weight--actually snatches it. Now I am embaressed though cuz I'm only doing sets of 85lbs and I'm a pretty strong guy.

[crowkiller106]

sexy!

[Hegemon54]

Looks to be about a 30 pound dumbell

[vodum]

Wow! Gonna try this myself cuz I think I can't do it with that weight. Keep on.

[Kruszakus]

When I first attempted my max in this exercise I did 50 kilos - it;s not that hard actually - and believe me, you will fall in love with this type of listing - I don't do any of this slo-mo Weider's B-B crap they advice people to do at the gym - that ain't real lifting.

[misfit422]

i'm turned on

[jobby67]

I CAN TELL SHE IS A GOOD ATHLETE!!!!

[jsa720]

Jeezus .... I'm pretty sure I couldn't do that. Is she a volleyball player?
