Dumbbell Narrow-Stance Squat
The dumbbell squat with the feet close together; the narrow stance keeps the knees tracking straight ahead and loads the front of the thighs.
How to do it
Setup
Feet close together, toes forward, a dumbbell hanging at each side.
Steps
- Squat down with the knees traveling straight over the toes.
- Keep the bells hanging beside the feet and the chest up.
- Stand up through the whole foot, knees still together.
Common mistakes
Heels rising as the knees go forward: stop where they stay down. Knees drifting apart: the narrow stance keeps them together; hold it. Torso folding to reach depth: stop at the depth the chest allows.
Breathing
Inhale down, exhale up.
