Single-Arm Overhead Dumbbell Squat
The squat with one dumbbell locked out overhead in one hand; the trunk and shoulder hold it over the middle of the foot.
How to do it
Setup
One dumbbell pressed overhead on a straight arm, feet shoulder-width, the free arm out.
Steps
- Squat down, eyes forward, the bell stacked over the shoulder.
- Keep the arm locked and vertical.
- Stand; switch arms after the set.
Common mistakes
Bell drifting forward: push it up and back over the shoulder. Torso leaning away from the bell: stay square. Elbow bending at depth: lock it or go lighter.
Breathing
Inhale down, exhale up.
