The Dumbbell Clean

ByCrossFit January 29, 2020

A dumbbell clean with a moderate load is one of the most metabolically demanding movements. The large range of motion, number of major muscle groups involved, and quick cycle time create the potential for very high power output. The dumbbell clean is less technical but paradoxically can feel more difficult than its barbell counterpart. This is due to the coordination needed to control both dumbbells independently, a staple benefit of dumbbell training.
