Dumbbell Deadlifts



Targets the hamstrings, glutes, and lower back while promoting strength and stability through the posterior chain.


  • Stand with feet hip-width apart, holding a dumbbell in each hand in front of your thighs, palms facing your body.

  • Hinge at the hips, bending your knees slightly as you lower the dumbbells toward the ground, keeping your back straight and chest up.

  • Push through your heels to return to a standing position, fully extending your hips and squeezing your glutes at the top.


PRO TIPS: 

  • Keep the dumbbells as close to your body as you move down. 

  • Push your glutes back towards the wall behind you, as if you’re closing a car door. 

  • To shake things up, try it with a reverse grip! 


MODIFICATIONS: 

  • Elevate your deadlift by standing on a step, or blocks to reduce the range of motion. 

  • Try it with a trap bar, for more natural movement and easier grip.
