## Technique

1. Hold a dumbbell vertically by one end, or a kettlebell by the horns, against your chest.
2. Set your feet well outside shoulder width, toes turned out.
3. Squat straight down between your feet, keeping the weight close and the chest up.
4. Go as low as you can keep the knees tracking over the toes, then stand up.

### Cues

- Keep the weight glued to the chest.
- Push the knees out in line with the toes.
- Keep the torso upright; the wide stance lets the hips sink straight down.

### Common mistakes

- Letting the knees cave inward.
- Letting the weight drift away from the body.
- Heels lifting off the floor.
