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

  1. Squat straight down, the bell dropping between the knees.
  2. Torso tall, knees out over the toes.
  3. 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.
