Dumbbell squats

[wrassle45]

[FONT=&quot]I perform squats using dumbbells, is it better to put the dumbbells over my shoulders while squatting or should I leave them down by my side? Does it make a difference?[/FONT]

Over your shoulders should work your core more, although if you are using light dumbells it probably won't matter

Don’t by your side and it becomes more of a deadlift. I’d go with shoulders.

in front of you this way you are forced to engage the glutes and hammies more. too many guys use their backs to squat which is incorrect

So three different replies

I think we all mean the same thing. Although not totally sure what Steve means with ‘out in front’.

Try both ways out and see how it makes your body respond

Just do regular barbell squats.

I'm used to doing it over my shoulders.
