Power snatches (essential this is done with good technique and a low enough weight to avoid injury)
Full snatch (from the ground, again essential this is done with proper technique!)
Barbell rows
Close grip rows
Wide grip pull-ups
I'm going to set up a program for the cycle I'll start next week so tips like the above is of great help. Thanks.
Didn't want to google terms like 'full snatch' at work... so didn't respond straight away, but now I've been searching the interweb for them all and it seems that the only one of your above list that is OK to do with dumbbells is barbell rows. That weird dude on youtube uses a wide barbell but you reckon it will be ok with a free weight in each hand?
I was thinking of combining this with the one where you sit with a straight back bending just a fraction forwards so that you push the weights upwards more or less behind your head. Am I onto something here or do these exercises cancel each other out?
Anyone feel like suggesting a third exercise for my back? If I need one that is
