Dumbbell Stiff-Leg Deadlift

The dumbbell stiff-leg deadlift primarily targets the hamstrings, glutes, and lower back. To maximize benefits, maintain a neutral spine and avoid rounding your back. Engage your core and keep a slight bend in your knees to protect your joints. Avoid lowering the dumbbells too far, as excessive range can strain your back. Adjust the weight to match your fitness level; start light to perfect form. For beginners, practice with bodyweight or light dumbbells. Advanced users can increase weight or incorporate a pause at the bottom. Focus on slow, controlled movements for muscle engagement and injury prevention.
