This depends on the person. “Possibly easier as the stance provides more stability but most people are more accustomed to a traditional squat so may struggle to adopt the form initially,” Anya Lahiri, master trainer at Barry’s UK tells says.” And Dr. Robin Barrett, a National Academy of Sports Medicine (NASM) certified personal trainer and coach for the Ladder app, shares the same view. “Depending on your glute strength, I’d say easier,” the PT says. “Since it’s using only one dumbbell [or bodyweight], you can easily control the movement.”
