Dumbbell Deep Pulse Squats
A lower-body strength exercise using dumbbells while performing small, controlled pulses at the bottom of a deep squat to intensify quad and glute engagement and build endurance in the squat position.
Discover exercises for every goal — strength, endurance, flexibility, or fat loss.
How it works: Use the filters to find the right exercise for your equipment, skill level, and target muscle group. These exercises feature in our challenges, workouts, and workout plans - but we’ve also made them available for you to browse and learn from.

A lower-body strength exercise using dumbbells while performing small, controlled pulses at the bottom of a deep squat to intensify quad and glute engagement and build endurance in the squat position.
A rotator cuff–strengthening exercise using light dumbbells to train shoulder stability, improve joint integrity, and enhance controlled outward arm rotation.
A core-strengthening exercise combining traditional flutter kicks with light dumbbells for added resistance or upper-body stability, targeting the lower abs, hip flexors, and deep core muscles while enhancing coordination and control.
A glute-focused exercise performed with the soles of the feet together and knees open, using a dumbbell for added resistance to intensify glute max activation, hip engagement, and posterior-chain strength.
A lower-body exercise performed with dumbbells held in front and feet placed closer together, emphasizing quad strength, core stability, and controlled upright squat mechanics.
A posterior-chain exercise using a dumbbell for added resistance as you lift the hips, targeting the glutes and hamstrings while improving hip strength, stability, and glute activation.
A hip-hinge posterior-chain exercise using dumbbells to add resistance as you hinge forward, strengthening the hamstrings, glutes, and lower back while improving hinge mechanics and spinal stability.
A combined arm exercise transitioning from a neutral-grip hammer curl to a traditional supinated curl, targeting the biceps and brachialis while enhancing forearm strength and overall arm development.
A glute-strengthening exercise performed with the upper back elevated and a dumbbell adding resistance at the hips, emphasizing glute max power, hip extension strength, and posterior-chain activation.
An upper-body strength exercise performed on an incline bench with dumbbells held close together, emphasizing the upper chest and triceps while improving pressing power and shoulder stability.
A core and upper-body exercise combining a jackknife crunch with a pullover motion, targeting the abs, lats, and serratus while enhancing coordination, trunk control, and overhead strength.
A single-arm back exercise performed with one knee and hand supported, targeting the lats, rhomboids, and rear delts while improving unilateral strength, stability, and balanced pulling mechanics.
