Close-Stance Dumbbell Front Squat

This dumbbell squat variation is like the goblet squat but with the legs positioned close together - feet a few inches apart. This exercise will challenge the quadriceps muscles more than the glutes.

• This exercise targets mainly the quadriceps muscles.
• This exercise also works the glutes and the hip adductors.
• This also requires the core to engage throughout the entire movement.
• This also challenges the upper back and the shoulders due to the dumbbell placement.

• This exercise is not recommended to individuals with any knee, ankle, or hip problems.
• This is also not recommended to beginners who still cannot do the proper squat.
• This exercise can injure the lower back if not properly executed.
• Proper resistance progression is advised to avoid injuries.
