How to: The CrossFit Dumbbell Power Snatch

The single arm dumbbell snatch is a dynamic, compound movement that works your whole body but primarily targets the shoulders, lower back, hamstring, and glutes.
This movement is often seen in CrossFit WOD's but is also a great movement for any athlete to incorporate into their fitness routine. The explosive nature of the dumbbell overhead snatch matches the intensity of movement that is typically required during sports. Performing this movement increases power, coordination, balance and core stability making this an excellent training movement for all athletes.

I needed to learn the proper form for the snatch. This is the best video I have found that demonstrates the correct movement. Thank you!

[@King-O-Hell]

I started doing these. They are actually pretty fun

[@blo7332]

Thanks for the video and for getting straight to the point. And very nice voice. 10/10

[@TheBoxBox920]

Best explanation on KZbin

[@tinamariemorgan9489]

Thanks! This helped a lot! I was bending my elbow too soon!

[@SlingingBirdies]

Cool had this coming up in my CrossFit class and was good to when I got there!

[@steffenseward9287]

This was one of the better videos i found on this exercise. Thank you.

your welcome

Beautiful! I will try this with kettlebells 👌

[@ginpau7416]

Same, but I don’t know how to do with kettlebell

[@superman3421565]

@@ginpau7416 I did it. You simply do the same exact movement as the guy in the video with just a kettlebell.

That was super helpful! Thank you!

[@derekpillers8796]

Thank you!

[@stevie56565]

you have to talk about where the elbow is... Most people turn snatch into clean press because they drop elbow... You should 100 percent redo this video and explain that the elbow stays up the the force behind the lift comes from posterior deltoid. This is a tough one teach but one of my favourite moves.

[@rebeccasutcliffe2086]

This is sooo helpful! Thank you!

[@terrykrow7820]

What is the benefit of this compared to stopping the weight at your shoulder and then pressing?

[@amazingelayah8197]

Good question. I don't know

[@endobronchial]

This isn’t even a muscle snatch. Leave alone a power snatch it’s half a deadlift followed by a front raise taken to vertical. A power snatch invokes POWER generated by the legs. There has to be a jump

[@rachaelmachado1618]

Agreed, he has zero hip movement. Zero. Where the heck do you think the power comes from?

[@nazneenmiah27]

I am scared of smacking my face with the dumbell. 🤕☹

Camera work is awful

What is this workout for ???

[@anthonygraham8122]

Not to be an ass. But the snatch lift and deadlift start are not the same. You dont do the beginning of a snatch with a deadlift. Dumbell or barbell. It's a different kind of lift. One has a hip touch because you dont fully lock out your butt. If you perform a deadlift motion it defeats the purpose of the anatch because it would be next to impossible to get under the weight. Which is what you are trying to do with a snatch or a clean. It's a different start and than a deadlift. That's all. Not against crossfit, I actually implement it in my routine. Just kinda annoyed with how some movements are explained.

[@hanswurst1541]

Right!

[@sahilpatel2877]

Camera angle is worst for shooting video

[@curtisgorkoff7519]

Looks more like a dumbbell muscle snatch. If it were a dumbbell snatch there would be more hip drive involvement

[@acciohogwartslegacy]

His technique gets worse as the video goes on, that last rep was especially bad. If you don't believe me just stop start the video

[@heatherjones2998]

He’s abit twisted , not hinging at the waist ..and shoulder is dropped to much. This isn’t great form.

[@makula5543]

Why don’t you do a video of masterful snatch form

[@3lightworker]

Ive torn a back muscles from doing this coz my right should was weak 😭

[@kamalahmed5057]

What muscle tore?

[@3lightworker]

@@kamalahmed5057 it was a deep one on the lower left. Due to a tight hip. All fixed now

[@Youssef-kx4cd]

don't do this exercise. there are a million good shoulder exercises but this can easily result in an injury

[@pulkpuller]

This is the worst form I have seen it’s missing the hip drive …this is a deadlift/back row to an overhead press

[@theeitiseba]

This is not a dumbell power snatch. There is no power position after the second pull, it is a bad form muscle snatch. The second pull is way too slow with no leg and hip drive, he is doing the second pull with his arms mostly. This is an example of how you should not be doing this movement.

[@psanfilippo8482]

Terrible camera work. I didn’t learn one thing from this video. Disappointing.

[@emancipy]

This is how not to do a power snatch.
