========================================­=====

| Directions |
1. Stand with your feet slightly wider than hip-width apart, holding a pair of light dumbbells down by your sides. Clean the dumbbells up to your shoulders so that one end of each dumbbell rests on top of each shoulder. Balance the dumbbells on your shoulder by holding on to dumbbells with elbows facing forward. This will be your starting position.

2. Keeping your head facing forward, your back straight, and your chest high, squat down by bending your hips back while allowing knees to come forward slightly, keeping your back straight and knees pointed in the same direction as your feet. Descend until your thighs are at parallel, or just past parallel to floor.

3. To return to the starting position, extend your knees and hips until your legs are straight. Repeat for the recommended number of reps.

Videos need not be for the specialists. This video is perfect for the common man. Good.

[aalcala]

I always have trouble with mine and yours is so perfect

[gasparedellutri]

people should understand the principle of training it s not always how much weight u can lift its more mind set and how u can make the excercise harder adding no rest or another superset etc etc

I started this today with 20 pound dumbbells 4 sets of 12 reps felt painful since i never worked on my legs only upper body(biceps, triceps, shoulders and back) but I started to look uneaven, so I need some leg work .
Thanks for the video 👍🏻

I hated doing these during quarantine but still better than doing no squat at all

[Garrettdx]

[pdkvlogs]

Great exercise for doing it in a limited space. 🏡

It is very important to explain the breathing technique during the exercise, incorrect breathing can cause harmful health problems.

This is probably the hottest workout tutorial I’ve seen, I mean this in a respectable manner 👀

[lisajones]

It should always tell the difference in squats and what the front squat works

[Xoppaly]

The beat at the beginning is so heavenly lmk who made it so i can sample it

[asadianbelifont]

Ya watch that weight homies! Lol. I haven’t worked out in like 12 years and thought it would be a good idea to squat like this 4x12 sets 25lb dumbbells. My quads were so sore I walked with a stick up my ass for 2 days 😂😂

[kwk]

What about breathing? When to inhale, when to exhale?

[Anthony-nxus]

These get really uncomfortable to hoist up on your shoulders once you go up in weight in dumbbells lol

[goldenfantasy]

Thanks for the instructions I was doing the wrong dumbbells squat I was following the barbell squats though:l

[modmohds]

Which is better? Dumbbell like this video over your shoulders or down by your side?

[zechariahsmith]

Been doing 5 sets of 15 of these with 55lb dumb bells. I will say I "V" the dumb bells, where the sides not touching my shoulders are touching each other. Probably kind of a cheat, but the focus is squats, not upper body. As it is I do feel an upper pump off of these.

This is called dumbbell front squat. Is there another kind, like dumbbell back squat?
