Dumbbell Deadlifts – 3 sets x 10 reps, 60 sec rest
Starting Position: Stand with feet hip-width apart, holding dumbbells in front of your thighs with palms facing your body.
Execution: Hinge at the hips, lowering the dumbbells down your legs, keeping a slight bend in the knees. Drive through your heels to return to standing.
Muscles Worked: Hamstrings, glutes, lower back, core.
Form Tips: Maintain a neutral spine, avoid rounding the back, and focus on the hip hinge rather than a knee bend.
