How to Perform the dumbbell straight leg deadlift

1

Stand with your feet shoulder-width apart, holding a dumbbell in each hand with an overhand grip.

2

Keeping your back straight and your core engaged, hinge at the hips and lower the dumbbells towards the ground, allowing your torso to lean forward.

3

Continue lowering the dumbbells until you feel a stretch in your hamstrings, keeping your knees slightly bent.

4

Pause for a moment at the bottom, then engage your glutes and hamstrings to lift your torso back up to the starting position.

5

Repeat for the desired number of repetitions.
