Barbell RKC "Program Minimum" with Dumbbell, anyone try?

[User 7569]

In the original Russian Kettlebell Challenge, Pavel recommends using a light dumbbell, (10-30lbs) for snatching, 2-3 times a week, with optional Bent Pressing.

Has anyone tried this protocol actually using a dumbbell?

What would be different about this program using a dumbbell?

I'd imagine you'd use a heavier dumbbell for the bent pressing. What do you think?

My 2 cents and suggestion:

- dumbbell program minimum: dumbbell swing (and I mean real dumbbell swing, not just kettlebell swing + dumbbell) plus clean and press

- advance dumbbell program minimum: dumbbell snatch (and again, real dumbbell snatch, not just kettlebell snatch with a dumbbell) + bent press.
