Dumbbell Sumo Squats Stand with your feet wide, toes pointing out, holding both dumbbells in front of your chest. Bend your knees, lowering your hips deeply, so that your thighs are parallel with the floor. Make sure to keep your weight back in your heels. Rise back up, straightening your legs completely and squeezing your glutes at the top of the movement to get the most from the exercise. This completes one repetition.
