Dumbbell Elevated Heel Squat
The dumbbell squat with the heels on a wedge and the bells at the sides; the knees travel further and the torso stays tall.
How to do it
Setup
Heels on a wedge, feet hip-width, a dumbbell hanging at each side.
Steps
- Squat straight down, the bells sliding past the knees.
- Go as deep as the torso stays upright.
- Drive up through the whole foot.
Common mistakes
Bells knocking the knees: let them hang slightly out to the sides. Heels creeping off the wedge: set the feet before the first rep. Shoulders rounding under the load: blades back.
Breathing
Inhale down, exhale up.
