Coach's Tips

This is a staggered deadlift variation that targets your hamstrings and glutes.

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. Keep your chest up and slightly bend your knees to get ready.

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

2. Go down 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.

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

1. Move slowly so that your feet do not shake on the plate.

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

3. Only go as far as your hamstrings can handle.
