Dumbbells & Olympic Lifts

And no fitness program has taken better advantage of them than CrossFit. The only problem is that correctly performing Olympic Lifts with barbells is extremely technical. Consequently, we take a lot of time drilling our clients with PVC pipes. But what about taking advantage of the power production and development of the Quick Lifts in the mean time? Answer: Dumbbells! Pete is powering through the 3rd Pull of the Dumbbell Power Clean with great form. Are you utilizing the Olympic Lifts? What else is your workout missing?
