Technique
Setup
Stand with feet shoulder-width apart. Hold a dumbbell close to your chest (Goblet style) or two dumbbells resting on your shoulders.
Movement
Hinge at the hips, pushing your butt back and keeping your legs nearly straight. Lower your torso until it's parallel to the floor. Drive back up.
Form Tip
Unlike a squat, your knees should not bend further as you descend. The movement is purely a hip hinge.
