Dumbbell Romanian Deadlift

How to do it

Hold a dumbbell in each hand in front of the thighs and stand with feet hip width apart.
Keep the dumbbells close to the legs with a neutral grip and a slight, fixed bend in the knees.
Brace the core and set the shoulders back before hinging at the hips.
Push the hips back and lower the dumbbells along the thighs and shins, keeping the back flat while the hamstrings (biceps femoris) and back stretch until tension is felt behind the thighs.
Inhale as the hips hinge back, exhale driving the hips forward to return to standing.
Avoid letting the dumbbells drift away from the legs; keep them tracking close throughout the hinge.
