Exercise Tip: Dumbbell Squat Press

Posted Aug 23 2008 10:39pm 2 Comments

The dumbbell squat press is a phenomenal full body exercise for developing strength in the legs, hips, low back, abdomen, shoulders and arms.



Muscles involved : Quadriceps, Gluteus Maximus, Erector Spinae, Rectus Abdominis, Obliques, Deltoids, Triceps Brachii and Trapezius.



Action : Begin with your back straight, feet shoulder-width apart and dumbbells at shoulder height. Then lower yourself down by pushing your hips back until you reach about 90 degrees of flexion in the knees. Keep your mid-section tight and look straight ahead.



Rise up out of the squat with a slight explosion and simultaneously press the dumbbells overhead. End the movement by lowering the dumbbells back to shoulder height. Repeat for the desired number of repetitions then switch to the other side.



Comments : Keep your weight over the back of your heels, chest up high and stay tight!

This movement is a great time-saver.  York Barbell founder, Bob Hoffman used to do this with a barbell, while getting ready for work.  He'd do a set, put on shaving cream, do another set, shave, do the final set, finish dressing and out the door to work.  Clients like this movement as they do not need much weight for good results.  But, keep that back straight. --Doug Setter, www.2ndwindbodyscience.com
