Dumbbell Hack Squat
The hack squat with a dumbbell in each hand held behind the legs; each bell travels along the back of its calf.
How to do it
Setup
Standing tall, a dumbbell in each hand behind the thighs, palms back.
Steps
- Squat down, the bells tracking the backs of the legs.
- Keep the torso upright and the heels down.
- Stand up, pushing through the heels.
Common mistakes
Bells swinging away from the legs: keep them close behind. Heels lifting at depth: sit back and go less deep. Shrugging the bells up: the arms hang long.
Breathing
Inhale down, exhale up.
