Dumbbell Deadlift

Form Cues

• Use a comfortable hip-wide stance

• Lower yourself toward the dumbbells in front of you

• Grab the dumbbells

• Engage your back and lats by pulling yourself toward the weight until your back is straight

• Constantly pull the weights toward your legs

• Maintain this tension, then slowly lift the weight off the floor, extending knees and hips together

• Avoid the back rounding or the hip coming up prematurely

• Don’t let the dumbbells swing around

• Come to a full hip lockout at the top
