TECHNIQUE: With a dumbbell in each hand, curl the weights up and hold it in that position (back of DB touching shoulders) while you get into a squat position and either perform repetitions or simply hold for a period of time. ADVANTAGES: This exercise is great move to load the squat without the use of the barbell, while strengthening not only the legs but the arms as well. You can do this move at home, all you need is a few dumbbells! FAULTS: Main fault with this move will come in the squat position by leaning too far forward and having the weight over the balls of your feet rather than the heels. You need to remove the weight, sit the hips back and perform with a strong core to prevent this. SCALING: Scale this move down by lowering the weight or removing it entirely. You can also perform wall squat holds if your form is still not correct.
