Left and Right-Handed Inch Dumbbell Cleans - Same Day and Same Set


Recommended Posts

Posted

My primary training goal for the last 6-8 weeks has been to accomplish the Inch Dumbbell Clean and Press.

Given the condition of my left hand, I've had to really be careful training left-hand cleans, while the right hand has continued to progress.

Historically, my left hand was always stronger on the Inch Clean, but the right hand has been slowly moving ahead.

In fact, I basically stopped training the left hand, yesterday, because I was barely getting it off the ground to mid shin.

Then, after about 10 attempts, I figured out a technical modification to make that seemed to make it much easier to pull the Inch to my shoulder.

I applied the lesson to the left hand, and all of a sudden the bell started coming up to my shoulder.

I was able to hit a clean with each hand in the same set. As far as I know, I'm the only person who's ever put up a video cleaning it with both hands.  It seems like everyone else has one good Inch Clean hand?  Not sure.

Regardless, it feels good to be progressing on this feat.

Next steps are to be able to strongly and confidently transition the bell from the Catch position to the Press position.

And of course, I also need to figure out how to put the thing over my head, which I haven't successfully done, since January of 2021 - WTF!!??!!???

Below is the vid where I got the Clean with each hand in the same set and then the full training video.

Somewhere in the neighborhood of 20 attempts.  Back is quite stiff and lots of soreness throughout the body, but nothing alarming.

Left and Right in the Same Set

Full Workout (minus one attempt where I got the prettiest Right hand clean)

Please support the channel by liking the video, and if you want to see more, subscribe.  I don't do much with IG and nothing with TikTok, so YouTube is where it's at for me.

Thanks and all the best in your training.

I’ve watched the short video a few times when I get home tonight first thing I’m doing is watching the full one.
 

You’ve been working hard at this and to get clean them both hands in the same set is quite the feat. 

Won’t be long until we see you pressing it

Nice work very few people could ever do this. Myself included but these are not cleans. The first one was close the second not close. 
 

your determination is admirable though and I have no doubt you will get it up on top of your shoulder.

No doubt.  That transition is super hard for me.  I marvel at how Ben can easily move through that phase.

Oh.  What was it if it wasn't a clean?

It was an attempt at a clean. But it wasn’t a completed clean. Keep up the good work though. You will get it.
