The Dumbbell Snatch

The snatch is a movement in which you take a weight from the floor and lift it overhead in one smooth motion.

The dumbbells snatch is performed in much the same way as a barbell snatch. You lift the weight from the floor or from the hang position, driving with your legs and shrugging with your shoulder. You allow your arm to bend and pull yourself under the weight, drawing it along your body and then locking your arm out directly overhead. Drive with your legs to return to standing.

I worked on these for the first time today and they are really aren't too bad. I only own up to 80lb dumbbells so I'm looking to find a 100lb.
