#3 Dumbbell Straight-Leg Deadlift
The dumbbell straight-leg deadlift strengthens the hamstrings with unrivalled precision. In addition, it is extremely effective in training the arms and lower back.
Instructions
Step 1: Hold dumbbells in both the hands with palms facing the torso. The arms and legs should be straight and perpendicular to the ground. The distance between the feet should be approximately equal to the width of the shoulder.
Step 2: With a straight back, bend forward using your hips to lower the dumbbells towards the ground. Continue this motion until the torso is parallel to the floor.
Step 3: Pause for a moment and return to the initial position.
Perform the exercise for the recommended number of repetitions.
Important tips: Always start the exercise with a smaller weight and gradually increase the load as you feel more confident with the motion of the exercise. Take extreme care while pushing the flexibility limits of the body. Moreover, people with lower back problems should exercise caution.
