How to Do Dumbbell Complex Push-up Row Clean and Press
- 1Setup
Place two hex dumbbells on the floor shoulder-width apart. Get into a push-up position gripping the dumbbells.
- 2
Perform a push-up, lowering your chest between the dumbbells and pressing back up.
- 3
Row each dumbbell to your hip one at a time, maintaining a stable plank position.
- 4
Jump your feet forward to a squat stance, clean both dumbbells to shoulder height by explosively standing up.
- 5
Press both dumbbells overhead to full lockout, then lower them back to your shoulders and return to the floor.
Tips
- This is an advanced complex — master each component individually before combining them.
- Use a moderate weight that allows you to maintain form through all four movements without breaking.
- Breathe rhythmically: exhale on the push-up press, rows, and overhead press; inhale on the transitions.
Common Mistakes
- ×Sacrificing form on the later movements due to fatigue negates the training benefit; reduce weight or reps to maintain quality.
- ×Skipping the full push-up range to save energy shortchanges chest development; touch chest to floor each rep.
