core strength exercises Crook Squats - An INSANE way to work the legs, core, upper back and shoulders

This exercise looks absolutely insane.

And it's INCREDIBLY tough and effective.

This one would be comparable to a Goblet Squat in terms of execution as well as how it loads the core, shoulders and upper back in addition to the legs.

Instead of holding a single dumbbell in close to your body under the plates, you're going to be holding TWO dumbbells vertically in the crooks of your arms (hence the name). This puts EXTREME loading on the supporting muscles of the core and upper back, especially as you get into heavier loading.

Now, if you're wondering why use this one instead of Goblet Squats?

1. If you've maxed out your weight with a single dumbbell, this allows you to double the loading by using two instead.

2. This moves the resistance away from your body, increasing the demands on the core, shoulders and upper back.

3. It puts great demands on your "breathing muscles" because of the loading pattern on your body, training you to function better under load.

4. It's awesome and people will think you're out of your mind (to me, that's a benefit :).

I would suggest practicing with lighter dumbbells first, then work as you get an idea of how much weight you can use with it. I'm using a pair of 65 lb dumbbells here and I was getting sets of 4 reps. I will also demonstrate lighter and higher rep sets with 35's.

Overall, this is a FANTASTIC exercise for challenging the entire body. It works the big muscles of the legs and the upper body in one shot and it requires very little in terms of equipment and setup.

It's an excellent alternative to Goblet Squats and one that you can also use to train the upper back and core for improving your Front Squat body position strength.
