Plie Dumbbell Squat

Glutes · Dumbbell

How to do it

Wide stance with toes turned out and a dumbbell held with both hands between your legs. Squat straight down pushing the knees out and stand squeezing the glutes. The wide stance loads glutes and adductors. You feel the inner thigh and the glute. The classic mistake is leaning forward: the torso stays vertical.

Variants

The drawing shows one way of doing it, and the technique above describes that one. Almost every exercise has variants — standing or seated, the grip, the bench angle — and is still the same exercise: if you do it another way, write it in the exercise note and you will have it every time you train it.
