Instructions
Preparation
- Stand with dumbbells grasped to sides. Clean dumbbells up
to shoulders so side of each dumbbell rests on top of each shoulder.
Balance dumbbells on shoulder by holding on to dumbbells with
elbows flaring outward.
Execution
- Bend knees forward while allowing hips to bend back behind,
keeping back straight and knees pointed same direction as feet.
Descend until thighs are just past parallel to floor. Extend
knees and hips until legs are straight. Return and repeat.
Comments
- Keep head facing forward, back straight, chest high, arms
straight to sides, and feet flat on floor; equal distribution
of weight through forefoot and heel. Knees should point same
direction as feet throughout movement. See Squat
