Dumbbell Front Squat
Dallas Personal Trainer - More commonly used by Dallas personal trainers than the more advanced Front Squat (with a barbell) which requires more flexibility and a high level of coordination. The Dumbbell Front Squat is excellent way to learn the proper form and posture of the Front Squat to help you work your way up to eventually performing Front Squat with a barbell.
Lift a dumbbell to shoulder height. Hold the dumbbell vertically with one palm under each side of the top plate. Set your feet at about a shoulder width stance and squat down until the top of your thighs are parallel with the floor. Squat back up, making sure to keep your head up and your weight on your heels. At the bottom of the squat make sure that you create tight abdominal pressure (brace as though someone is about to punch you in the stomach) as you press your feet in to the ground to stand back up. This abdominal pressure will help keep your torso upright, give your more strength, and stabilize your spine as you press yourself upward.
