Dumbbell Straight Legs Deadlift
Expert Advice
Keep your back flat and hinge at the hips, not the waist. This will help protect your lower back and target the hamstrings and glutes.
How-to-do Steps
- Stand with your feet hip-width apart, holding a dumbbell in each hand in front of your thighs.
- With a slight bend in your knees, hinge at the hips and lower the dumbbells towards the floor.
- Keep your back straight and chest up as you lower the weights just below your knees.
- Engage your hamstrings and glutes to return to the starting position.
- Repeat for the desired number of repetitions.
