Plate Staggered Deadlift

Starting Position

1. Place a plate under the front foot and put your foot on top of it.

2. Lightly step on the back foot and hold dumbbells (or a barbell) in both hands.

3. Straighten your chest and slightly bend your knees to prepare.

Proper Form

1. Send your hips back and lean your upper body forward to lower the dumbbell along your shins.

2. Lower only until you feel a stretch in the back of your front thigh.

3. Push off the floor with your front heel and squeeze your glutes to stand up.

4. After the designated number of repetitions, switch legs and repeat.

Breathing Technique

Inhale when bending your upper body, and exhale when coming up.
