Sumo Squat With Dumbbell

Starting Position

• grasp two dumbbells or two alternative tools named above
• stand up with a bit wider than shoulder width opened legs, the feet are turned out a bit
• angle the legs a bit
• pull back the shoulder blades and push out the chest
• let the weights hang down vertically in the middle of your pelvis
• look ahead and keep your back straight while you work out

Correct Execution

• bend your knees in a controlled motion until they have a 90 degree angle
• push out the bottom backwards and go into a slight hollow-back
• the knees point into the same direction like the tiptoes and do not protrude them during the bending
• your arms and the weights do not move
• put pressure on your heels and come back to the starting position without momentum
• repeat the exercise several times
