Dumbbell Power Clean and Press Exercise

• Grab a pair of dumbbells and stand with your feet shoulder-width apart.
• Hold the dumbbells straight down at arm's length, palms facing your thighs.
• In one motion, pull the dumbbells up to your shoulders as you dip your body down to "catch" them.
• Push up to a standing position, then press the weights overhead.
• Pause, and then lower the weights to shoulder level and return to the starting position.
