Instructions

Setup

  • Stand on one leg with a dumbbell held in the opposite hand.

  • Keep your core engaged and maintain neutral spine alignment throughout the entire movement.

The Deadlift Portion

  • With a slight bend in your standing knee, hinge forward at your hips, extending your free leg backward for balance.

  • Lower the dumbbell toward the floor, keeping it close to your shins, while keeping your back flat.

  • Return to a standing position.

The Snatch Portion

  • Once standing, pull the dumbbell close to your body in a vertical path.

  • As the weight reaches chest height, flip your elbow underneath and drive it overhead into a full extension.

  • Balance on your one leg carefully with your free arm extended to your side for stabilization.

  • Control the descent of the dumbbell back to the starting side position before transitioning into the next deadlift repetition.
