Questions about DB split squats: Do you start from the hang or with the DB on the ground? Which leg goes forward? Is it 10 per arm? or 5 per arm? Thank you.

Unless noted otherwise, the rep numbers for 1-side exercises are total - so 5/arm. Per arm, alternate the split leg - you'll have an odd number (5) this time, but you'll live. I suggest starting with the DB in one arm, doing 5 reps alternating legs, then move to the other arm and continue the leg alternation. Start with the DB just below the knees.

I have never done these moves before, so a lot of warm up
