  3. 03 Brace your core and squat until your thighs are at least parallel to the floor, keeping your chest tall and elbows up.
  4. 04 Drive hard through your whole foot to stand.
  5. 05 Use that upward momentum to press both dumbbells straight overhead until your arms lock out.
  6. 06 Lower the dumbbells back to your shoulders and flow straight into the next squat.
