 The offset dumbbell squat is a good way to introduce some asymmetry into symmetrical movements to maybe make your body like them a little better So it's a normal squat pattern We're gonna start with the weights elevated on a bench or chairs like this You're gonna take a nice RDL drive to the legs to pick them up and Then as far as execution is concerned if I do a normal squat With dumbbells I want to be a little bit more narrow because I don't want them running into my legs like this If I do a normal squat my feet are pretty symmetrical pretty parallel What I'm gonna do in an offset squat is I'm gonna bring one foot back on purpose and as I bring it back I'm gonna let my hip kind of follow and my toe kind of turn outward a little bit I'm not gonna bias my toe inward too much So now I've got my left foot back my right leg forward and I'm gonna let my hips turn to the left as I squat down Now I'm not so concerned about shoulder stuff. I just want to have a nice firm grip on the weights And I want to drive through the legs. Okay big things with especially dumbbell squats It's easy to just turn it into a deadlift where you're bending over you want to maximize the knee bend with the feet flat on the floor So if the heels come up, that's the biggest mistake that I see heels will come up Weight will shift forward and the knees will collapse in in the back will arch You don't want those things my glasses are falling You don't want to stay back on the heels and try to stay as upright as you can So this is a little too far for me but what I'm looking for if we look from the side view is I'm looking for my shins and my torso angle to be parallel something like that if you're doing the dumbbell version and The weights are hitting your legs Just try to be more narrow as you move your feet closer together You're gonna limit your range of motion. So don't force depth on these squats, but that is the offset dumbbell squat
