Dumbbell Straight Leg Deadlift
Target Muscle
Secondary Muscles
Equipment
Keeping your back straight and your legs slightly bent, slowly bend at the waist and lower the dumbbells towards the ground.
Go as far as your flexibility allows, but make sure to keep your back straight and not rounded.
Pause for a moment at the bottom of the movement, then slowly raise your body back to the standing position, pushing your hips forward and squeezing your glutes at the top.
Repeat the movement for the desired number of repetitions, ensuring to maintain proper form throughout.
