Dumbbell Kneeling Hold to Stand Clean Grip
With a dumbbell racked on each shoulder, rise from tall kneeling through a half-kneeling lunge to standing, then kneel back down.
How to do it
Setup
Tall kneeling, a dumbbell racked on each shoulder, elbows forward, torso upright.
Steps
- Bring one foot forward into a half-kneeling lunge.
- Drive up through the front foot to stand, the bells steady on the shoulders.
- Step back down to one knee, then both; lead with the other leg next.
Common mistakes
Bells rolling off the shoulders: keep the elbows up and forward. Leaning forward to get up: keep the torso tall and drive with the front leg. Dropping onto the knees: lower each one slowly.
Breathing
Exhale standing, inhale kneeling down.
