Dumbbell Deadlift



Set-Up

You will need 2 dumbbells of equal weight. You can always start with a lower weight and work your way up with each set.

Action

1. Hold a dumbbell in each hand at your side so that your palms face your thighs and stand with your feet shoulder-width apart.

2. With a slight bend in your knees slowly bend forward at your hips, keep your head up, back slighly arched and push through your heels. Your torso should be parallel to the floor and you should feel an intense stretch in your glutes and hamstrings.

3. Hold this position for 30 seconds and then slowly reverse direction, contracting your glutes as you rise upward to the starting position.

4. Repeat with 3 sets of 15 repetitions.

** Remember

1. Always keep your knees slightly bent, never lock your knees

2. Always hold the weight with a light secure grip

3. Never round your back like a cat on the way down, keep a slight arch

4. Pushing down through your heels and almost letting your toes off the floor will get best results
