1 - Place your heels on a stable elevation such as a wedge, small plates, or a slant board, with your feet about shoulder-width apart and toes slightly turned out.
2 - Hold a dumbbell or kettlebell vertically at chest height in a goblet position, keeping your elbows pointed down and close to your torso.
3 - Brace your core, keep your chest tall, and maintain a neutral spine before beginning the squat.
4 - Bend your knees and hips to lower into a squat, allowing your knees to travel forward in line with your toes while keeping your heels supported on the elevation.
5 - Descend as low as your mobility allows while maintaining control, an upright torso, and full foot contact through the elevated heels and forefoot.
6 - Drive through your feet to stand back up, extending your knees and hips without locking out aggressively.
7 - Repeat for the desired number of repetitions, keeping the movement controlled and the weight close to your chest.
