One-Arm Clean And Press – Dumbbell

  1. Place a dumbbell on the floor between your feet, which should be slightly wider than hip-width apart.
  2. Squat to the ground, bending your knees to grab the dumbbell with one hand. Keep your back flat, chest up, and core engaged.
  3. Drive through your heels to explode upwards, extending your hips and knees.
  4. Use the upward momentum to curl the dumbbell upwards until it's in front of your shoulder in a 'rack' position. You may use a slight squat to catch the weight.
  5. From the stable rack position, press the dumbbell directly overhead until your arm is fully locked out, keeping your core tight and avoiding excessive side-bending.
  6. With control, reverse the movement to lower the dumbbell back to the shoulder rack position, then to the floor for the next rep.
  7. Repeat the movement for your desired number of repetitions then switch sides.
