About

How to Dumbbell Sumo Squat

Starting Position

1. Position the dumbbell in front of your body and lift it with both hands.

2. Spread your legs one step wider than shoulder-width apart, and turn your toes out at a 40-50 degree angle.

3. Keep your chest up and your back straight.

Proper Form

1. Tighten your abdomen and keep your back straight, then bend at the hips to lower your buttocks down.

2. Lower yourself until your knees naturally bend and your thighs are vertical to your body.

3. Push strongly through the center of your feet to rise up.

4. As your buttocks rise, straighten your knees and hips in sequence, returning to the starting position.

Breathing Technique

Breathe in while going down, and breathe out while going up.

Precautions

1. Please be careful not to lean your upper body too far forward.

2. Keep your chest up and engage your core to avoid bending your waist.

3. Don't excessively bend your waist while trying to keep it straight.

4. Please do not stick your buttocks too far back.

5. Make sure your feet do not lift off the ground.

6. When standing up, please ensure your knees do not come together.
