Steps
- 01
Stand with your back to a flat bench holding a dumbbell in each hand at your sides; place the top (or ball) of one foot on the bench behind you and step the front foot forward about one large stride, whole foot planted.
- 02
Torso upright or leaning slightly forward, hips square to the front, eyes ahead; find your balance before starting.
- 03
Inhale and bend the front knee to descend straight down: front shin roughly vertical with the knee over the toes, rear knee dropping toward the floor without touching, until the front thigh is about parallel to the floor.
- 04
Exhale and drive through the front heel and whole foot back to the start; the rear foot only balances, do not push off the bench with the back leg.
- 05
Finish the prescribed reps, then switch legs; try it bodyweight first to learn the balance before adding dumbbells.
Common mistakes
- Front foot too close to the bench, so the front knee travels far past the toes and the rear hip is over-stretched.
- Front knee caving in and the body tipping sideways.
- Pushing off the bench with the rear leg.
- Torso pitching forward excessively with a rounded back.
Before logging, know the load basis
