Dual KB Front Squat

The Dual KB Front Squat is a lower body strength exercise that primarily targets the quadriceps, hamstrings, and glutes. It is performed with two kettlebells held in the front rack position.

Here are the steps to perform a Dual KB Front Squat:

  1. Start by holding two kettlebells at shoulder height in the front rack position. To get into this position, hold the handles of the kettlebells with both hands, elbows bent and pointing forward, and the kettlebells resting against your chest.
  2. Stand with your feet shoulder-width apart and toes pointed slightly outward. Keep your chest up, shoulders back, and core engaged throughout the movement.
  3. Begin the squat by pushing your hips back and bending your knees. Keep your weight on your heels, and make sure your knees track over your toes. Lower yourself until your thighs are parallel to the ground or slightly below.
  4. Pause for a second at the bottom of the squat and then drive through your heels to stand back up. As you stand up, squeeze your glutes and engage your quadriceps.
  5. Repeat for the desired number of reps.

Some tips to keep in mind when performing the Dual KB Front Squat:

  • Maintain an upright posture throughout the movement and avoid rounding your back.
  • Keep the kettlebells close to your body and your elbows pointed forward.
  • Exhale as you push up from the bottom of the squat.
  • If you have any wrist or shoulder issues, consult with a trainer or healthcare professional before attempting this exercise.
  • Use kettlebells that feel comfortable and challenging for you, but not too heavy that you cannot maintain proper form.
