A dumbbell snatch broken into four steps: drive through your heels to pop off the ground, pull the weight to your armpit, flip it over, and catch it overhead. Focus on these cues and you can nail the movement.

The dumbbell snatch is a big, complex move. So let's break it down. I like to start from the ground up and thinking about my heels popping off the ground first. So as you get that weight overhead, your heels pop off the ground to drive it up. Then I like to go thumb to armpit or dumbbell to armpit. So you're thinking about pulling that dumbbell up to your armpit before you flip that weight over. Third, you're going to get that weight flipped over, and then you're going to get underneath it and catch it. Put it all together, heels pop, dumbbell to armpit, and get under that weight and catch it. You got this.
