Dumbbell Kneeling Hold to Stand

Muscles involved

Knowing exactly where to place the dumbbell kneeling hold to stand in your workout makes all the difference for your progress. Because this drill demands intense stability and focus, it fits brilliantly right at the beginning of your main strength block or as a brutal burner at the very end of your workout. Inserting it early allows you to load your quadriceps and glutes while your nervous system is fresh, holding those dumbbells firmly as you drive upward. On the flip side, using it as a finisher will completely exhaust your lower body and test your mental stamina. Choose its spot wisely based on your training goals for the day.

How to do it

1. Kneel with a dumbbell in each hand, keeping your torso firm. 2. Take a step forward with one foot and rise until you are standing. 3. Hold for one second to stabilize your posture. 4. Return to the kneeling position and alternate the supporting side.
