Bottle Weighted Front Squat
The front squat with a full water bottle resting on each shoulder; a home version of the dumbbell squat.
How to do it
Setup
A full bottle on each shoulder, hands holding them, elbows forward, feet shoulder-width.
Steps
- Squat down with the elbows staying high.
- Keep the bottles still on the shoulders.
- Rise to standing, hips and chest together.
Common mistakes
Elbows dropping: the bottles roll forward; lift them. Heels rising at depth: sit back into the hips. Loose caps: check them before the set.
Breathing
Inhale down, exhale up.
