@fitnessdilekofficial: ✅ Do vs ❌ Don’t: Dumbbell Sumo Squat⬇️ 1. Dumbbell Position ✅ Do: Hold the dumbbell with both hands hanging naturally between your legs. ❌ Don’t: Hold it up at your chest it limits how much you can lift. Why? Holding it lower lets you go heavier without relying on arm strength. 2. Torso Posture ✅ Do: Maintain a slight forward lean. ❌ Don’t: Stay fully upright. Why? A forward lean increases hip flexion and helps better activate the glutes. 3. Stance Width & Foot Angle ✅ Do: Stand about 1.5x shoulder-width apart, toes pointed out 45° ❌ Don’t: Go too wide or keep toes straight. Why? A moderate stance keeps the focus on glutes, not inner thighs. 4. Load Path ✅ Do: Let the dumbbell move slightly behind the midline as you squat. ❌ Don’t: Keep it directly under your shoulders. Why? This reduces lower back strain and improves glute activation. Cc @fitnessdilekofficial #sumosquats #sumosquat #squat #squats #fitnesstips #gymtips
