How to do a dumbbell stiff leg deadlift

  1. Stand tall holding a dumbbell in each hand in front of your thighs.
  2. Keep your knees nearly straight with only a soft bend.
  3. Hinge at the hips and lower the dumbbells down the front of your legs.
  4. Descend until you feel a deep stretch in your hamstrings, keeping your back flat.
  5. Drive your hips forward and return to standing.
  6. Squeeze your glutes at the top of each rep.

Form tips

  • Keep the knees stiffer than in a Romanian deadlift.
  • Only go as low as your hamstring flexibility allows with a flat back.
  • Keep the dumbbells close to your legs.
