Squat & Squat Variation: Dumbbell Sumo Squat

Instructions

Start with feet outside shoulder-width and toes facing out 45 degrees with a dumbbell set between the heels.  Keeping the chest and back flat, squat back and down to secure the dumbbell. With the weight on the heels, set the shoulders down and back and keep the chest high and arms fully extended as you drive up by extending the knees and hips to a standing position.  Lower the dumbbell under control by squatting back and down returning to the original position.  Common Errors:  Not keeping the chest up and squatting through the heels, squatting on the toes, dropping the elbows, initiating movement with the knees, and not getting proper depth.
