EXERCISE INSTRUCTION
- The dumbbell needs to be raised with both hands to the chest with a vertical grip. Put your legs wider than your shoulders.
- Turn the socks to the sides, as well as the knees.
- With this performance, the pelvis and trunk are retracted at the time of lowering down.
- Upon reaching the lowest point of the amplitude, return to the starting position without delay.
- With a return movement, you need to maintain a natural deflection in the lower back.
- Inhale should be done at the time of squatting, and exhale on a return movement.
NOTE: The load should come on the heels, not on the toe. During squats, the back should be as upright as possible.
