Dumbbell Single Leg Seated Squat
Dumbbell Single Leg Seated Squat
Purpose: Unilateral lower body strength. Quads and glutes.
Quick Coaching Cues
- Use a seat height appropriate for your ability. You can place something sturdy on top of the bench to elevate your squat height if needed.
- Chest up, back straight.
- Foot flat on the ground.
Common Mistakes
- Using a weight that’s too heavy. Start with your bodyweight first to get a feel for the movement. If you can’t complete this movement with just your bodyweight, try elevating the sitting height. You can place a rubber plate on the bench or a 1in foam square block or use a plyo box that’s slightly taller than the bench.
- Allowing the chest to fall forwards. Keep the chest up, facing forwards.
