The dumbbell stiff leg deadlift builds strong hamstrings and glutes. It also improves hip mobility and teaches proper hip hinge movement patterns.
1. Stand tall holding dumbbells at your sides with feet hip-width apart 2. Keep your chest up and shoulders back as you begin the dumbbell stiff leg deadlift movement 3. Push your hips back and lower the dumbbells toward the floor with soft knees 4. Feel a stretch in your hamstrings then drive your hips forward to return to standing 5. Squeeze your glutes at the top and repeat for your target reps
• Keep the dumbbells close to your legs throughout the dumbbell stiff leg deadlift • Focus on pushing your hips back rather than bending forward • Maintain a neutral spine and avoid rounding your back • Only go as low as your hamstring flexibility allows
• Bending the knees too much turns this into a squat instead of a proper dumbbell stiff leg deadlift • Rounding the back puts stress on your spine and reduces effectiveness • Going too low before mastering the dumbbell stiff leg deadlift hip hinge pattern
