The Dumbbell Front Squat

The dumbbell front squat builds on the mechanics of the barbell front squat. The dumbbells may not be supported entirely on the torso as they are with the barbell, but the goal remains the same: to support the load primarily on the shoulders with the elbows pointed forward. Controlling both dumbbells demands and improves midline stability, control, and accurate positioning of the body.
