Dumbbell Goblet Wall Sit
The wall sit holding one dumbbell upright at the chest; the weight adds to the hold while the back stays on the wall.
How to do it
Setup
Back on the wall, thighs parallel, a dumbbell held vertically against the chest, elbows tucked.
Steps
- Hold the thighs parallel with the shins upright.
- Keep the bell tight to the chest and the back on the wall.
- Time the hold; stand when the depth slips.
Common mistakes
Bell drifting off the chest: it pulls the shoulders off the wall; hug it in. Resting the elbows on the knees: the legs lose the weight; keep them up. Rising above parallel as the set drags on: hold the depth or stand.
Breathing
Steady throughout; never held.
