The Dumbbell Stiff Leg Deadlift

Position

1. With your feet about shoulder length apart, pick up a pair of dumbbells. The dumbbells should be at your sides with your arms fully extended downwards.

Execution

1. Keep your knees slightly bent and buttocks out. Slowly bend at the waist while lowering the dumbbells past your knees. You should feel a slight stretch in your hamstrings and glutes.

2. Slowly raise the bar upwards back to the starting position. Remember to squeeze your buttocks and hamstrings on the way up.

3. Always keep your back straight and keep the weight moderate on this exercise.
