Dumbbell Sumo Squat
The sumo squat with a dumbbell hanging between the legs.
How to do it
Setup
Wide stance, toes out ~45°, one dumbbell hanging in both hands between the legs.
Steps
- Squat straight down, the bell dropping between the knees.
- Torso tall, knees out over the toes.
- Squeeze the inner thighs and glutes to stand.
Common mistakes
Reaching the bell for the floor: the LEGS set the depth, the arms just hang. Knees rolling in: push them out. Leaning forward: vertical drop.
Breathing
Inhale down, exhale up.
