Exercise Description

The dumbbell stiff leg deadlift on bench exercise targets your hamstrings and glutes with greater range of motion. It builds strength in your posterior chain and improves hip mobility.

How To

1. Stand on a bench holding dumbbells at your sides with feet hip-width apart 2. Keep your legs straight with a slight knee bend and engage your core 3. Hinge at the hips and slowly lower the dumbbells toward the floor, feeling a stretch in your hamstrings 4. Lower until you feel a good stretch in your hamstrings, then drive your hips forward to return to standing 5. Squeeze your glutes at the top and repeat for desired reps, maintaining control throughout the dumbbell stiff leg deadlift on bench movement

Form Tips

• Keep your back straight and chest up throughout the dumbbell stiff leg deadlift on bench • Focus on hinging at the hips, not bending your knees • Lower the weight slowly to maximize the stretch and muscle activation • Keep the dumbbells close to your legs during the entire movement

Common Mistakes

• Rounding your back instead of keeping it neutral during the dumbbell stiff leg deadlift on bench • Bending your knees too much, which turns it into a squat movement • Going too fast and not controlling the weight on the way down
