Straight-Leg Dumbbell Deadlift

Flexible, strong hamstrings help minimize loss of posture in the backswing, and early extension in the downswing, while also assisting in extending the hips through impact and follow-through

Starting position:

Stand tall, feet shoulder width apart, feet slightly pointed outwards, hold the desired dumbbell weight.

Movement:

Slowly bend from the hips. The legs stay straight, and do not bend at any time during the movement. Keep your back tall, do not arch. Keep your head up and neck tall

Finish position:

The dumbbells should just reach your knee caps. Hold for one second, then slowly raise your upper body back to starting position.
