When you dumbbell clean do you start with the dumbbells at your sides or between your legs? Do you catch the dumbbell with hand palms facing forward or palms facing each other. I have very limited exposure to cleaning dumbbells.
I start with the dumbbells on the floor outside my feet, hip width. Narrow stance about 10-12 inches.From the floor to the shoulders in one motion, palms facing each other.Then press not a jerk.I was doing this in my garage with a barbell but for cold weather I'm in the basement pressing between the floor joists.
Don't you hate low ceilings? When I had a house with a basement the ceiling was not more than 7 ft. and maybe less. This required I do many exercises sitting down that would normally be done standing. I think the ceiling in my garage is high enough that I could press overhead in a standing position....never tried.
I'm 6'2" and with my arms up probably close to 9 feet. Add on the diameter of a 45 lb. plate and there's not many basements that high.As it is I press the dumbbells standing up.

Same here. Still going strong with the Elite 3 bands. When I feel a little pumped the next day, I know I did good. Today and tomorrow are scheduled days of rest and recovery. I'll be back at it on Friday.
