Dumbbell Sumo Squat

HOW TO DO IT

1. 1Stand with feet wider than shoulder-width and toes pointed outward.
2. 2Grip one dumbbell vertically with both hands in front of your hips.
3. 3Brace your core and lower your hips until thighs are parallel to the floor.
4. 4Keep your chest up and knees tracking over your toes throughout the descent.
5. 5Drive through your heels to return to the starting standing position.

COMMON MISTAKES

• Letting the knees collapse inward during the squat.
• Rounding the lower back while holding the weight.
• Lifting the heels off the ground at the bottom.
• Leaning too far forward instead of keeping the torso upright.

TIPS

• Push your knees outward to engage the inner thighs.
• Keep the dumbbell close to your body to maintain balance.
• Focus on sitting back between your legs rather than just bending down.

SAFETY

• Avoid rounding the spine under load to prevent lower back strain.
