Dumbbell Press Squat
The goblet squat with a press at the bottom: one dumbbell held upright at the chest is pushed straight out in front and pulled back before standing.
How to do it
Setup
Standing, feet shoulder-width, toes slightly out, one dumbbell held upright at the chest with both hands.
Steps
- Squat until the thighs are about level, chest up.
- Press the bell straight out in front and pull it back to the chest.
- Stand up with the bell at the chest.
Common mistakes
Leaning forward as the bell goes out: brace and keep the chest up; the press tests it. Heels lifting in the squat: sit back until the weight rests mid-foot. Rushing the press to stand sooner: finish it at the bottom, then stand.
Breathing
Inhale down, exhale pressing out, inhale bringing it back, exhale standing.
