Split Squat Press Instructions
1. Start in a split leg position, with one leg forward and one leg back, and hold a dumbbell in each hand.
2. Flex your knees, until the back knee is just above the floor, and position the dumbbells at your shoulders, with your palms facing forward and your elbows under your wrists.
3. Stand back up, push the dumbbells up and fully extend your arms.
4. Repeat this movement for the duration of the set and then switch legs.
Proper Form And Breathing Pattern
Engage your core, keep your back straight, open your chest and roll your shoulders back. Maintain your feet hip-width apart and breathe in as you flex the knees and lunge. Breathe out as you stand back up and push the dumbbells up and over your head.
