How To Do A Dumbbell Deadlift Correctly
The dumbbell deadlift is a great variation of the classic barbell deadlift, if you don’t have access to a barbell.
The dumbbell deadlift hits your glutes, hamstrings, and core.
To get started:
- Stand with a shoulder width stance with a pair of heavy dumbbells on the floor.
- To pick up the dumbbells, start by bending at your hips, followed by bending your knees.
- Grab the dumbbells with an overhand grip, arms straight, and focus on keeping the natural arch in your lower back throughout the movement.
- Press your feet through the ground to stand up, pull your torso back, and thrust your hips forward to really contract your glutes.
- Lower the dumbbells to the ground and repeat.
