Bench Squat (Dumbbell)

Also known as: Bench Squat (Dumbbell).

Two-dumbbell squat to a stable bench, using a defined depth target rather than a free squat or barbell box squat.

How to perform this exercise

1. Stand just in front of a stable bench with feet around shoulder width and one dumbbell in each hand at your sides.
2. Bend the hips and knees and sit back under control until the pelvis lightly contacts the bench.
3. Keep both feet planted and the torso braced; do not drop onto the bench.
4. Stand through both feet without bouncing or rocking backward.
