F45 Training Glen Abbey Oakville

🏋️ SINGLE-ARM DUMBBELL SN**CH FORM CHECK 🏋️

The dumbbell sn**ch is a full-body power movement. The goal isn’t to lift the weight overhead with your arm, it’s to transfer power from your legs and hips into the dumbbell.

✅ Drive explosively through the hips
✅ Keep the dumbbell close to your body
✅ Finish tall before the pull
✅ Punch straight overhead into a stable lockout
✅ Control the weight back to the start position

❌ Swinging the dumbbell out in front of you
❌ Curling or pulling with the arm too early
❌ Turning it into a shoulder/front raise
❌ Skipping hip extension and relying on the upper body

Think: hips first, arm second.

The more power you create from the hips, the lighter the dumbbell feels overhead and the more efficient the movement becomes.

Save this reel for your next workout 💪

🚨 SkiErg Form Check 🚨

The difference between working harder and working smarter often comes down to technique.

✅ LEFT SIDE:
• Hinge at the hips with a slight bend in the knees
• Initiate the pull by engaging the lats and driving the elbows down
• Reach tall at the top to maximize stroke length and power output
• Finish with the handles driving toward the pockets/hips
• Maintain a strong, neutral spine throughout the movement

❌ RIGHT SIDE:
• Excessive knee bend turns the movement into more of a squat than a hip hinge
• Shortened reach at the top limits power generation
• Pulling the handles to the knees reduces force production
• Over-reliance on straight arms instead of using the lats and hips
• Loss of rhythm and efficiency with each stroke

The SkiErg isn’t just an upper-body exercise. The most powerful strokes come from transferring force through the entire kinetic chain, from the hips and core through the lats and arms. Efficiency over intensity! 💪
