Dumbbell Low Split Squat
The extra-long, low split squat holding a dumbbell in each hand; the bells nearly brush the floor at the bottom.
How to do it
Setup
Dumbbells at the sides, feet an extra-long stride apart, rear heel up.
Steps
- Drop the hips low, the bells hanging straight.
- Keep the rear leg long as the front knee bends.
- Push the floor away with the front foot.
Common mistakes
Bells touching down: stop just above the floor. Shoulders sagging under the weight: blades back, chest tall. Front heel peeling off the floor: sink straight down, heel planted.
Breathing
Inhale down, exhale up.
