How to Do Dumbbell Stiff Leg Deadlift

1. Concentrate on the stretch in your hamstrings and lower the weights as far as your hamstrings will comfortably allow.
2. Now activate your hamstrings and raise the dumbbells straight up. Your shoulders should be back and your eyes should be up. Your lower back will not round as a result of this.
3. Squeeze your glutes and hamstrings together until you're standing tall.
4. Rep until you've reached your desired number of reps.
