Dumbbell stiff leg deadlift instructions:
- Stand up straight, with your feet shoulder-width apart, holding a couple of dumbbells by your side at arm’s length.
- Slowly lower your upper body down towards the floor by bending at the waist until you feel a stretch on the hamstrings. Make sure to keep your back and legs straight.
- Hold for a count then return back to the starting position by extending your hips and waist.
- Repeat for as many reps and sets as desired.
