This was a really cool way of showing it. Text and her showing the moves. Good contrast with the white background!

[@heh7666]

이 자세가 나올때까지 연습할테다!!!!

[@lelandwhite8156]

Love this exercise

[@alexbrzg7308]

Why is not a hammer grip in the Snatch of a dumbbell?

[@Stark_CFB]

hello, i have a question regarding dumbell snatches. If there is a WOD where the exercize is with two dumbells (snatch), do both ends of the dumbells need to touch the floor or only one end of the dumbell needs to touch the floor?

[@amyhamm3387]

Her feet are totally leaving ground. If she used a heavier weight, would it be more helpful to keep her toes on the ground or not (to maintain a force being sent upward from the ground)? Once the feet leave the ground, does that stop any force from the ground and mean it’s all arm? I’ve got a friend who is struggling with this and she only feels it in her arm, and she’s jumping off the ground. I’m keeping my toes on the ground when my hips extend, but I feel the burn in my upper abs and lower body rather than arms.

[@larissadueck2643]

Her feet leave the ground just like with a barbell snatch. It's so she can get under the weight faster

[@caitriona8608]

So? My feet lift off the ground when I snatch any weight over my head, even when I push press my feet still leave the ground even as I go higher with the weight

[@Th3UprightMan]

@@caitriona8608 Then you haven't ever went high enough 🤷

[@kostar500]

Good form

[@antonyniagos]

The correct grip at the end is the hammer grip.
Keep your shoulder close to your ear

[@user-ku1xh6wu4m]

Julie Foucher???

[@Dap0pe1]

Foucher? I barely know her!

[@ericgottschalk9816]

same as the dumbbell hang power snatch?

[@jjwp-ql5rv]

Eric Gottschalk
Erm no. With the “hang” you start with the weight already in your hand hanging in front of you

[@jacobdylee249]

I see a lot of CrossFit athletics doing dumbbell snatch with a dumbbell head facing the front, instead their palm facing the front. Is it just personal preference?

[@evansibley6615]

With the dumbbell facing that way you get less pulling power with the arm but better pressing at the top and vice versa with how Julie is doing it here. Just personal preference.

[@thingwhatever]

What’s the difference between dumbbell power snatch and circus press⁉️

[@andyk4676]

WhiteWolf77 Have you seen a circus press? It’s closer to a clean and press with the dumbbell being cleaned to the shoulder, pause, then press upwards. Opposed to the DB power snatch which is an Olympic snatch with a DB instead of a barbell

[@ShadowMosses]

is this for legs? whats this for?

[@Mr12funkymonkeys]

ShadowMosses 1998 it's for fitness

[@tanktime4573]

ShadowMosses 1998 this is for people who like bad form

[@joansebastianmarintorres177]

Tank time Oh, and don't forget injuries

[@Mr12funkymonkeys]

Tank time is there a better way of doing a dumbbell power snatch?

[@joashraphaelumali9642]

I think that’s the proper way of dumbell power snatch. I don’t see a bad form here

[@caitriona8608]

I know people say theres no such thing as a stupid question but jesus just looking through the comments I say its bullshit

[@bencoh26]

why some athletes do squat in this exercise? are there 2 different exercises?

[@kubamaryjanowski6573]

Yes. This is power snatch. With squat it's called snatch

[@trevorregay9283]

ok....how much weight is this woman dumbbell snatching? and how many sets and number of reps would be a good workout???

[@andyk4676]

Checkout the CrossFit website for Workouts of the Day that include scaling for beginners and intermediates

[@MrBugz94]

I was thinking this form looks terrible and then looked down and was like oh it's crossfit

[@riana3426]

wdym crossfit is great

[@Golgi-Gyges]

I'm willing to bet that your own form is what is terrible.

[@6six9nine74]

Nothing is wrong with this form.
