Anyone of those you've posted will work too but the first and second ones are going to be very limiting on the amount of weight you can lift.
Your legs should be able to push much more weight than your arms can lift and hold up. Strive for higher weights, lower rep ranges and most importantly form, keeping your back straight.

You can use higher weight this way, for many people. Holding weights down by the side is harder for many people to get into a decent position cause the weights in the way.Ban 2 1/2 's !!!!!!

This way. Ideally, you should do squats with a barbell (the long bar) Originally Posted by TooOld

x2. also want to add, looking at the 2 pictures, make sure you are squatting deep like the man holding the single dumbell, and not high like the women you posted. Originally Posted by FitnessFreek
