Instructions

Setup

  • Stand in a split stance with one foot forward and one foot back, creating a stable base.

  • Hold a dumbbell securely in one hand at shoulder level in a front rack position, keeping your elbow tucked in and pointing down.

Movement

  • Lower your hips by bending both knees simultaneously until your back knee is just above the floor.

  • Ensure your front knee stays aligned over your ankle and does not cave inward.

  • Keep your torso upright and core braced throughout the movement.

  • Press through the full foot of your front leg to return to the starting upright position.

  • Complete all repetitions for one leg before switching sides.
