MOVEMENT TIP: The Dumbell Press
CrossFit Seminar Staff member James Hobart demonstrates the Dumbbell Press. Using dumbells for any overhead movement creates an element of instability and forces each arm to work independently. With the barbell, the stronger arm can sometimes compensate for the weaker arm and so varying your style of weights can help to address this. In this movement, just like with the...
MOVEMENT TIP: Dumbell Front Rack Lunge
Dumbells haven't featured heavily in CrossFit, at least not as much as Barbells, but all that changed at the 2017 CrossFit Open. In 2017, not a single barbell was featured at either the CrossFit Open or the CrossFit Regionals - Dumbells, and to some extent kettlebells, were used instead.
