MOVEMENT TIP: The Burgener Warm Up
The Snatch and the Clean and Jerk are the two movements contested in the sport of weightlifting (also known as Olympic weightlifting or even Oly by CrossFitters). A while back we looked at the Clean and Jerk and all the associated variations and over the next few weeks, we are going to look at the other movement, the Snatch. Before...

MOVEMENT TIP: The Dumbbell Swing
CrossFit Seminar Staff member Julie Foucher demonstrates the dumbbell swing, a movement that isn't seen very much as it is not as favoured as the kettlebell swing. The Dumbell doesn't lend itself to the swing in quite the way the ketttlebell does, but as you can see from the demonstration, it makes a perfectly good substitute if you don't have...
MOVEMENT TIP: The Dumbbell Hang Power Snatch
This week CrossFit Seminar Staff member Julie Foucher demonstrates the Dumbell Hang Power Snatch for us. Just like with the barbell variation of this movement, you can make it simple by considering each of the individual words in this rather lengthy movement name! 1. Dumbell (not barbell) 2. Hang - starting from above the ground (usually just above the knee)...
MOVEMENT TIP: The Dumbbell Power Snatch
The Dumbell Power Snatch is also very similar to the Dumbell Snatch - the only difference is that instead of dropping into the Dumbell Overhead Squat position, the athlete only needs to drop part way to catch the dumbells. CrossFit Seminar Staff member Julie Foucher demonstrates this movement for us. Points Of Performance Stand on feet with hip-width apart Grip...
MOVEMENT TIP: The Dumbbell Hang Snatch
CrossFit Seminar Staff member James Hobart demonstrates the Dumbbell Hang Snatch, just like the Dumbell Snatch we looked at last week, except that the movement starts with the Dumbells in the 'hang' position i.e. off the ground.. Everything else pretty much remains the same. Points Of Performance Stand on feet with hip-width apart Grip the center of the dumbbell Lumbar...
MOVEMENT TIP: The Dumbbell Snatch
Much like the barbell Snatch, the Dumbell Snatch, as demonstrated here by CrossFit Seminar Staff member James Hobart, requires driving the hips through to move the Dumbell upwards. As you can see, James then drops under the weight as fast as possible, while punching up as he lands in a Squat. The Dumbell Snatch is typically performed using just one...
MOVEMENT TIP: The Single Dumbell Overhead Squat
CrossFit Seminar Staff member James Hobart demonstrates the Single-Dumbbell Overhead Squat., which is a great core exercise. Using just one arm forces the athlete to resist against the tendency of the body to rotate to one side to compensate. Instead, switch your core on and work to keep the hips squared to the front in this movement. Ensuring a strong...
MOVEMENT TIP: The Dumbbell Hang Power Clean
This week CrossFit Seminar Staff member Julie Foucher demonstrates the Dumbell Hang Power Clean for us. Just like with the barbell variation of this movement, you can make it simple by considering each of the individual words in this rather lengthy movement name! 1. Dumbell (not barbell) 2. Hang - starting from above the ground (usually just above the knee)...
