How to Do the Perfect Dumbbell Squat to Press (Complete Guide)
Build full-body strength and explosive power with this compound movement that combines the squat and overhead press, targeting your legs, core, and shoulders.
Perfect Dumbbell Squat to Press Technique
The Dumbbell Squat to Press is a dynamic, functional exercise that develops strength, mobility, and coordination. It challenges the lower body with a squat and then engages the upper body as you press the weights overhead, making it a total-body movement.
Step-by-Step Form Guide
1.Setup Position: Hold a dumbbell in each hand at shoulder height, feet shoulder-width apart.
2.Squat Down: Lower your body into a squat, keeping your chest up and knees tracking over your toes.
3.Drive Up: Stand back up by driving through your heels and extending your hips.
4.Press the Weights: As you reach the top of your squat, press the dumbbells overhead, locking out your elbows.
5.Lower the Weights: Slowly lower the dumbbells back to shoulder height as you prepare for the next repetition.
6.Repeat: Perform for the desired number of repetitions, maintaining proper form throughout.
Common Mistakes to Avoid
1.Rounding the back during the squat
2.Allowing knees to cave inwards while squatting
3.Pressing the dumbbells with improper shoulder alignment
4.Using momentum to press the weights overhead
5.Not fully extending the arms during the press
