Twenty-Four…and then some
Up until now the focus of our dumbbell work has been primarily on the slow lifts. These are essential to building foundational strength and should always be in your training movement pool. As you have seen, for cost effectiveness the dumbbell has no peer as a strength and conditioning tool.
There is a point, though, where the training must move to the next level. That level is training for power. From my
perspective there is no quality more coveted in athletics than power—the ability to move an object (or the body) through space in a short time.
I train power with dumbbells in a number of different ways, but my favorite is the dumbbell snatch. In this article I’ll cover three simple yet productive variations: the muscle snatch, the hang power snatch, and the deck snatch. - Coach Mike Rutherford

Getting the weight up and over head, builds strength and power
