Dumbbell Side Bench Squat
The lateral squat with a dumbbell at the chest, sitting down onto a bench behind over the bent leg.
How to do it
Setup
Back to a bench, feet very wide, a dumbbell held vertically at the chest.
Steps
- Shift over one leg and sit down to the bench.
- Keep the other leg straight, its foot flat.
- Rise and shift across to the other side.
Common mistakes
Dropping onto the bench: lower slowly and just touch it. Bent knee caving: push it out over the toes. Dumbbell pulling the chest down: hold it high and close.
Breathing
Inhale sitting in, exhale shifting up.
