Dumbbell Split Squat

Dumbbell Split Squat

Setup

Position feet far apart in a split sance, one foot forward and the other foot behind with toes and knees facing the same direction and grasp dumbbells with arms hanging straight down.

Movement Instructions

Squat down by flexing knee and hip of front leg, letting hips travel straight down while keeping torso upright. Allow heel of rear foot to rise up while knee of rear leg bends slightly until it almost makes contact with floor. Return to original standing position by extending hip and knee of forward leg. Repeat. Continue with opposite leg.

Comments

Knees should point same direction as feet throughout movement. Heel of rear foot can be kept elevated off floor throughout movement. A wider stance puts more emphasis on Glutes.
