About

Deadlift is usually done with heavy weight, but if you have a low level of muscle strength or wish to train with high repetition of low weight, workout with dumbbells!

How to Dumbbell Deadlift

Starting Position

1. Stand with your feet hip-width apart and hold a dumbbell in each hand.

2. Your palms should be facing each other, with your elbows slightly bent.

3. Keep your core engaged and your chest and head up.

Proper Form

1. First, push your hips back while naturally bending your knees to go down.

2. When coming up, straighten your knees first while keeping your weight centered on the soles of your feet, and then bring your hips forward.

3. When you are fully upright, open your chest and contract your entire back.

Breathing Technique

Inhale when lowering your upper body, and exhale when raising your upper body.

Precautions

1. Please keep your chest open so that your shoulders do not hunch forward.

2. Engage your core to prevent your lower back from rounding.
