Bodybuilding: Stiff Legged Dead Lifts With Dumbbell

Video Transcript

"What I'm going to perform here is an exercise for the hamstrings. It's stiff legged dead lifts with the dumbbells. You're going to be in the same position that you would do with the straight bar, this time you're just doing it with the barbell, or the dumbbells that is. You want to control it coming down, squeeze your hamstrings. You should feel your hamstrings and your glutes. Stretching out when you bring it down, when you bring it up you want to make sure your back stays arched. Control the weight throughout the whole motion. You don't want to come all the way up. Again, you want to concentrate on flexing the hamstrings, as well as your glutes because those are the areas that you are hitting on doing this exercise. You want to do about eight to ten reps and three to four sets. Continue this in a steady motion in proper form. And this is how you do stiff legged dead lifts with dumbbells."
