Stiff-Legged Dumbbell Deadlift

Legs · Dumbbell · ×2 dumbbells

You hold two: the weight you log is ONE dumbbell's, and volume counts both.

How to do it

Same as the Romanian deadlift but with dumbbells at your sides or in front of your thighs. Dumbbells let you go slightly deeper and are easier to set up. Knees fixed, hips back, flat back. You feel hamstrings and glutes. Same warning: the moment your back rounds, end the set.

Variants

The drawing shows one way of doing it, and the technique above describes that one. Almost every exercise has variants — standing or seated, the grip, the bench angle — and is still the same exercise: if you do it another way, write it in the exercise note and you will have it every time you train it.
