| Description: |
- Stand with your feet shoulder-width apart, arms at your sides and toes pointed out at about a 30-degree angle. Place a dumbbell just in front of the area between your feet.
- Bend into a squat and grab the dumbbell with a pronated grip (maintaining a straight arm). Keep your back straight, abs tight and knees behind your toes as you squat.
- Stand straight up with an explosive motion, driving the movement with your hips. Begin to bring the dumbbell to shoulder height as you rise.
- “Catch” the dumbbell at your shoulder.
- Pause to re-set (and turn the grip to neutral).
- Then drop into quarter squat before driving the dumbbell overhead.
- Bring the dumbbell back to shoulder height (using a neutral grip), then lower the dumbbell back to the ground. Perform your next rep with the other arm, changing arms with each repetition.
N.B. If you prefer to do all your reps with a single-arm, start with your non-dominant arm first.
