Dumbell squat
In my workout routine at the moment I am doing 3 sets of 10 squats, just with arms out front. At the moment it is getting quite easy so I wanted to use some weights while doing squats and the only weights I have are dumbells. So I have the instructions for a dumbell squat but I cant for the life of me do onee without falling over backwards. (bottom heavy...he he)
Anyway what am I doing wrong? Is my position incorrect? Any other suggestions. Thanks Sandra |

Re: Dumbell squat
How are you holding the dumbells?

Re: Dumbell squat
i know our gym has those weights which you strap around your wrists (they are about 3kg's each)- they look like really big sweat bands - very thick - i use them sometimes when i am feeling brave [img]/forum/images/graemlins/smile.gif[/img] - and i still fall over and get laughed at but i am gettign there [img]/forum/images/graemlins/smile.gif[/img]
may consider gettign yourself some or check if you gym has some?

Re: Dumbell squat
I am holding them down by my side. You know with the bar bit going forwards to back.

Re: Dumbell squat
try holding the dbs up on your shoulders, that may help you remain more stable. how far apart are your feet?
