How to perform

  1. 1

    Allow the dumbbell to hang at arms length between your legs, holding it with both hands. Keep your back straight and your head up.

  2. 2

    Swing the dumbbell between your legs, flexing at the hips and bending the knees slightly.

  3. 3

    Powerfully reverse the motion by extending at the hips, knees, and ankles to propel yourself upward, swinging the dumbell over your head.

  4. 4

    As you land, absorb the impact through your legs and draw the dumbbell to your torso before the next repetition.

Important tips

  • Drive through your whole foot, not just your toes.

  • Keep your knees tracking over your toes.

  • An honest range of motion beats a heavier load.
