 403 forbidden message Member 160, 5121 posts SQ 190, BP 137.5, DL 225552.5 kgs @ 86kgs UnEq | When doing a dumbell clean and press, am I allowed to snatch the dumbell from floor straight to overhead? Or, as the name implies, do i have to get it on my shoulders first? | ||

 Still got a little bit of strength Member 400, 22049 posts | Yeah, that would be allowed, as long as the other hand didn't touch the DB at all. Only a BEAST would be able to use that technique though! | ||

403 forbidden message Member 160, 5121 posts SQ 190, BP 137.5, DL 225552.5 kgs @ 86kgs UnEq | I'm not a beast by any means, I can barely do a few reps with a 40kg dumbell. i was just wondering. I did some standing dumbell presses with leg drive and can't get the second dip. Snatching a 40kg dumbell whilst fresh seemed MUCH easier than doing it after a few other shoulder exercises but with as much leg drive as poss. | ||

Listen to the rules for the event. If no mention of snatching it but no mention of anything stopping you doing it then fire in. | ||

 vegetarian with a big deadlift - who would have thought... Member 340, 13300 posts SQ 315, BP 190, DL 350855.0 kgs @ 110kgs UnEq | I would allow it (but as mentioned - the other hand wouldn't be allowed to touch it at all). | ||
