Clean (Dumbbell)

Also known as: Clean (Dumbbell).

A clean with two dumbbells from a low start to the shoulders.

How to perform this exercise

1. Stand with feet about hip width, knees and hips flexed, back neutral. Grip one dumbbell outside each lower leg with arms long; both feet flat and the weights near the floor.
2. Drive through legs and hips, guide weights close, then quickly bend beneath them and receive both dumbbells at the shoulders. Stand tall, lower the weights with control and reset; use the leg-and-hip drive rather than turning the movement into an ordinary biceps curl.
