DUMBBELL SQUAT TO PRESS
- Begin in a standing position with a dumbbell in each hand
- Clean the dumbbells to shoulder height utilizing a jumping motion and shoulder rotation
- Palms should be facing each other and elbows should be pointing forward
- Look directly forward, keep your chest up, and place feet about shoulder-width apart
- Initiate movement with a squat, flexing the knees and hips to lower your body
- Descend as far as flexibility allows, maintaining good posture in the spine, hips, and knees
- Pause for a brief moment at the bottom of the squat before returning to a standing position by extending the hips and knees
- After fully rising to a standing position, press the weights overhead by extending the elbows and flexing at the shoulder
- Return the weights to the shoulder before repeating the whole movement for 15 repetitions
LANDMINE SQUAT PRESS
- Stand holding the weighted end of the barbell with both hands in front of your chest
- Your feet should be level and shoulder-width apart
- Press the weight up with both hands until your arms are extended, then bring it back down slowly
- Adopt a split stance, with the opposite leg to the arm you are lifting with forwards
- Press the weight up with one arm, keeping it in line with your shoulder rather than moving it towards the middle of your body
SUMO SQUAT
- Start in a standing position, take your feet out sideways so that they are wider than shoulder width and toes turned out slightly
- Bring your hands up into a prayer position on your chest
- Sit your hips back and down, then bend your knees, keeping them in line with your toes
- Make sure you keep your chest up and don't tip forwards
- Lower down until your hips are the same height as your knees, then push down into your heels
- Contract your glutes and quadriceps to return to the standing position
