How to Do Dumbbell Sumo Squat

Form Cues

1. 1

   Take a wide stance with toes pointed out 45 degrees

2. 2

   Push knees out in line with toes throughout

3. 3

   Hold the dumbbell vertically by one end with both hands, letting it hang between your legs

4. 4

   Keep your torso as upright as the wide stance allows

Common Mistakes

• ●

  Feet too close together — defeats the purpose of the sumo stance, use a wide enough stance to feel inner thigh tension

• ●

  Knees collapsing inward on the way up — actively drive them out over the toes throughout

• ●

  Leaning forward to counterbalance — keep the weight close to the body instead of letting it pull you forward
