Dumbbell Romanian deadlift: how to do it
1 of 3
Dumbbells in front of your thighs
Starting position
Stand hip-width with slightly bent knees and hold the dumbbells in front of your thighs with straight arms.
The movement
Push your hips back and lower the dumbbells close to your legs with a straight back until your hamstrings stretch, then drive your hips forward.
Most common mistake
Don't bend your knees like a squat, keep them slightly bent and move mainly through your hips.
